Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way

Bringin' ev'ry girl and boy
A basketful of Easter joy
Things to make your Easter bright and gay

He's got jelly beans for Tommy
Colored eggs for sister Sue
There's an orchid for your mommy
And an Easter bonnet too. Oh!

Here' comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity Happy Easter Day

Look at him hop and listen to him say,
"Try to do the things you should"
Maybe if you're extra good
He'll roll lots of Easter eggs your way

You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find those choc'late bunnies
That he's hiding ev’rywhere, Oh!

Here' comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity Happy Easter Day.



During Rankin/Bass's golden age of Christmas specials, an Easter special emerged about a bunny named Peter Cottontail

Seymour S. Sassafrass, an eccentric, yet friendly peddler, and inventor, tells the tale of 
Peter Cottontail.

When Peter Cottontail tries to become chief Easter Bunny, he's suddenly challenged to a contest by his arch rival, Evil Cottontail, and instantly finds himself up to his ears in trouble. This delightful tale will leave you smiling as you watch Peter and his magical friend, Seymour S. Sassafras, race to distribute the most eggs on Easter Sunday.
