Peter Rabbit (Full Audio and Lyrics)

Peter Rabbit's got
A fly upon his nose
Peter Rabbit's got
A fly upon his nose
Peter Rabbit's got
A fly upon his nose
So he flipped it and he
Flapped it and
The fly flew away

Floppy ears and curly whiskers
Floppy ears and curly whiskers
Floppy ears and curly whiskers
So he flipped it and he
Flapped it and the fly flew away

Origin and background

The tune of this nursery rhyme is very popular all around the world. It is based on "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" (which is based on "John Brown's Body") and it is also the tune of the famous gospel "Glory Glory Halleluja". The lyrics are inspired by the children's book "Peter Rabbit" of Beatrix Poller (1866 – 1943). The book was first released in 1902.
