The Hippity Hoppity Easter Bunny
Tune: I’m a Little Teapot

The Hippity Hoppity Easter Bunny
is coming straight to me.
Closer and closer
he hops upon my knee.
Up to my shoulder
the Bunny’s oh so near.
Happy Easter, friend,
he whispers in my ear.

Ending songs:
Elevator Song
https://klmpeace.wordpress.com/rhymes-for-baby-and-toddler-storytimes/#59
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand <em>
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
Peek a Boo
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo I see you!
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo I see you!
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo

Peek-a-boo!
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo I love you!
