Benny Rabbit shows up, curious about all the bunny ears. He declines the invitation to join their sing-a-long and heads downtown, claiming he doesn't do "cute." They all sing the "Booby Bunny Song" (to the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad"). Telly now thinks they need to know the "Booby Bunny Alphabet Song," so they all go to get their special alphabet hats. |
