Description
In a cottage in a wood
Little old man at the window stood,
Saw a rabbit running by
Frightened as could be.
“Help me, help me, sir,” she said,
“Before the huntsman shoots me dead.”
“Come, little rabbit, come with me,
Happy we will be.”

Little old man at the window stood – hold hands up to eyes like binoculars looking out window
Rabbit running by – hold hand in “peace” sign with two fingers extended to look like rabbit ears, and move hand from one side to the other in “hopping” motion

Help me, help me – throw arms up in air

Happy we will be – stroke one hand with the other
