There’s this song that my girls picked up in day camp. (Actually they each picked it up independently rom each other at different day camps, so it must be fairly popular.) I find it a bit strange:

In a cabin in the wood,

A little man by the window stood.

Saw a rabbit hopping by,

Knocking at his door.

“Help me! Help me! Help me!” he cried,

“Before the hunters shoot me alive!”

“Come little rabbit, come inside

Safely you’ll abide.”

The song has hand motions for each line, and the song gets repeated a few times, but with each repetition the words to the first line (and then the first and second line, and then the first three lines…) gets replaced with “Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm.”

Where IS this from?
