I walked into the tavern for a beer

the barman said to me: "You have a hide -

We don't serve purple bunny rabbits here,

you'd better take your long-eared friend outside!"

I turned around to find a rabbit there -

I'd never seen the like of him before,

near six feet tall with purple wavy hair,

he smiled at me, then went and held the door.

Once in the street, he shook me by the paw,

this wasn't real - I must be going nuts,

I glanced about, and hoped nobody saw,

a strange sensation murmured in my guts.

The driver of the bus was really nice,

until I howled about the ticket rate,

he sternly said he'd have to charge me twice,

one fare for me - another for my mate!

At home he sat there, drinking lemon tea,

he twitched his tail then looked at me and smiled,

I mentioned that he couldn't stay with me,

a rabbit should be living in the wild.

I dozed off on the sofa, woke at eight,

the purple rabbit sat there next to me,

he offered me some lettuce on a plate,

Bugs Bunny Show was playing on TV.

I jumped into my trusty Subaru,

I turned and he was in the other seat,

we drove off into town and to the zoo,

the thought of getting rid of him was sweet.

The keeper looked at me and shook his head,

they couldn't take him for at least a year,

the rabbit cage was full, or so he said,

and suddenly I felt a thirst for beer.

I walked into the tavern for a beer

the barman said to me: "You have a hide -

We don't serve purple bunny rabbits here,

you'd better take your long-eared friend outside!"
