I didn't know that Sharon Lois and Bram recorded a version. They were an institution for a decade of kids (at least), so I'm guessing the 90s lyrics were standardized to their version, at least somewhat.
New Brunswick, child of '87. I was also going to blame Sharon-Lois-n-Braham for this, however in I found [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EdpbhzjNpFo) and the hand actions are very familiar. I have a stronger memory of watching Lambchop than I do the Elephant Show, so I think it was Shari Lewis for me.
I also blame South Park, specifically Butters, for reminding me in my university years of the song. (South Park, Season 4 Ep8: "Something you can do with your finger")
My son is 5 and learned it through Scratch Garden youtube videos at school this year.
It has always been little Bunny Foo Foo.
Little Rabbit Foo Foo, early 90s, in Newfoundland.
My (Chinese, raised in Mb) husband thinks English children's songs and nursery rhymes are barbaric, and this is one of the first he heard, cause we found a dead mouse.
>My (Chinese, raised in Mb) husband thinks English children's songs and nursery rhymes are barbaric
They are. Most of them have origins in Germanic fairy tales and those are particularly gruesome.
True that! I don't think he's read any of the original Brothers Grimm fairy tales lol
The first time he heard me singing, "It's raining, it's pouring" to our toddler, he looked at me like I had 3 heads and asked what the hell I was teaching our daughter 😅
Saskatchewan, 90s. Didn't learn it from school, but from my mom.
Little Bunny Foo Foo, hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head!
And of course I know all the actions!
Also Bunny Foo Foo. Also Alberta, but mid 70s.
Didn't learn it in school, as I remember already knowing it in playschool (pre-Kindergarden).
I was the older cousin among our generation, so I'm not sure where I learned it. I'm guessing my Mom?
Little Rabbit Foo Foo, running through the forest;
Scooping up the field mice, and boppin' 'em on the head?
I feel like that's the lyrics.
Yukon territory, 1980.
It’s hopping.
And down came the good fairy, and she said: “Little Bunny/Rabbit Froo-Froo/Foo-Foo, I don’t wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping them on their head!
In my childhood (1970s, Ontario) it was Little Rabbit Froo-froo. He was running through the forest, smacking field mice on the head. The good fairy gave him 3 chances, then, POOF! She turned him into a goon. The moral being, hare today, goon tomorrow.
Child of the 70's here.... twas a bunny foo foo pickin up the field mice and boppin them on the head in Alberta
And if you think this is barbaric, I recommend avoiding most original fairy tales. Hans Christian Anderson could give Steven King a run for his money
learned it from my sister in the early 90's, who had learned it from somewhere in BC, in the mid 80's. and yes, I can do the actions *and* the voice. I know the three charcoal buzzards too *smug*
huh. seems it's "chartreuse" to many. https://youtu.be/5U3msT41KV4?feature=shared
don't think much of this guy's action game though 😋 my sister and I give it a lot more drama.
Thanks! My niece will love that. But we’ll keep the Chartreuse wording. It’s like a game of telephone!
She just thought me a hand clapping game. Her words are:
Lemonade,
Crusty Eye (sometimes it was crunchy eye)
Zip it once
Zip it twice.
Looked up other clapping games and found it’s supposed to be Lemonade, Crunchy Ice, Sip it once, sip it twice. Lol.
Ontario, 90s, school sleep away trip at a local camp ground courtesy of the camp counsellors. "Rabbit" Foo Foo, and yes, I remember all the actions.
I still remember Stella Ella Hola, Ramsamsam and about 50 other camp/skipping/schoolyard songs.
Stella, Stella, Ola! I’d forgotten about that! Now that’s going to be in my head all day. :)
I’ve not heard of Ramsamsam…I’ll have to look it up!
My niece is 7 and we’ve been learning clapping games. So much fun! We do Lemonade, This that, and Tic-tac-toe. Always looking for more ideas to share with her!
What about Miss Sue?
Miss Sue, Miss Sue, Miss Sue from Alabama, sittin' in her rocker, eatin' Betty Crocker... <3
Ramsamsam was more camp song than school yard song and the whole thing is just gibberish sung while holding yourself in a "crabwalk" position and bouncing your bottom off the floor.
Yes! We always sang May Sue. But I think it was just kids hearing it wrong and changing the words, as it happens in the game of Telephone! I’ll need to find a video and refresh my memory.
My niece would love Ramsamsam. Sounds right up her alley!
Do you know Lemonade? My niece and her friends were singing ‘Crusty Eye’ instead of ‘Crunchy Ice’ and ‘Zip it’ for ‘sip it’. Hahahahah! Crusty Eye sends me.
I think a lot of times the words are regional. A 65 year old teacher (in 1991) taught us Miss Sue, and she learned it in a high Northern one room school in her childhood, like the 30s or 40s. Honestly "Miss Sue" flows and sounds 100% better than "May Sue." Plus, up here, we don't double name girls. May Sue, Billie Jo, Billie Sue, Suzy May, Linda Lou, we don't do that up here. May Sue sounds absolutely wrong in every way to my ears.
Crusty Eye is hilarious!
We rarely have double names in this area too but of course since I heard it when I was little, May Sue sounded totally natural to my ears. But now that I’m thinking about it, it does sound weird!!
Rabbit foo foo. Manitoba in the 70’s and my younger sister in Alberta in the 80’s.
There are too many “bunny foo foos” for you to all be crazy though.
So the only logical and reasonable conclusion is that we were all subjected to some kind of experimentation where they divided us up into groups and deliberately taught us two different versions of the lyrics.
Now all we have to do is figure out which of us were the control group, the rabbit foo foos or the bunny foo foos!!!
Oh and figure out what happened to kids from French families of course !! Est-ce qu’on a enseigner les paroles « lapin fou fou » ou plutôt « pinpin fou fou »?
I once went to a hypnotist show where the dozen or so unlucky participants each had their “bunnies” they found during an intermission destroyed in increasingly gruesome ways while the hypnotist sang Little Bunny Foo Foo
i did not learn the song in school but i definitely know what you're talking about, i was born in the early 2000s, live in Ontario and it's Bunny Foo Foo
I had never heard the song before and raised Ontario but moved with my kids to Alberta when they were 5 and 7. They learned it in school in late 90's
Little bunny foo-foo, hopping through the forest,
scooping up all the field mice and boppin them on the head!!!
I didn't learn it in school, but my mom sang it to me.
Little bunny foo foo hoppin through the forest
scoopin up the field mice and boppnin them on the head
DoWn CaMe ThE GoOd FaIrY aNd ShE sAiD (in the weirdest voice possible)
little bunny foo foo
I dont wanna see you
scoopin' up the field mice
and boppnin on the head
I'll give you (X) chances
and if you misbehave
I'll turn you into a GOON!
Slightly different lyrics for me. Born mid 70s.
BC. Not sure where I learnt it but I did go to Brownies so there’s a good chance it was there.
It was:
I’ll give you X chances.
And if YOU, disobey ME,
I will turn YOU into a GOON
And that part was said with a talking voice rather than being sung.
I sang Bunny Foo Foo, but remember hearing Rabbit Foo Foo, too.
little bunny foo foo (make bunny ears with fingers)
hopping through the forest (bounce bunny fingers across in front of you)
scooping up the field mice (make cup shape with hand and scooping motion)
and bopping them on the head (turn cupped hand into fist, “bop” it with your other hand)
bc, started kindergarten in ‘99 probably learned it there
from the 70’s , Northern Alberta , bunny foo foo
we did a whole friggin skit based on bunny foo foo for one of those kindergarten or grade one (I forget which) assemblies
Not only do I remember the actions, we also had to do the tango-line “bunny hop” into the gym to the stage and also when we were done the skit to leave
bunny foo foo got in a wee bit of trouble for bopping the field mouse a little *too* hard on the head 🤪
Thinking again, I don’t remember where I learned it. It was from others, but not necessarily in school. Someone said camp fire, or maybe from a children’s vhs played for us in daycare?
Criss cross, apple sauce?
Bunny foo foo. I didn’t learn it myself that I can remember (Ontario, 80’s), but my kids grew up with it from the Wiggles on tv. I think we also sang it at the early years with them (2010’s, Ontario) but not school that I know of.
Yes!
Ontario (Toronto to be more specific)
I was born 2001 so early 2000s? Maybe 2006/2007
And it was bunny foo foo
And in 2010 my little sister learned it from daycare
Little bunny Frooo Frooo
ON
Early 80s
I’ll turn you into a GOOOO!!!! (Not a goon). Being turned into jelly was wayyy scarier. Learned this in daycare, then through Brownies, Girl Guides etc. That’s where I learned there are variations (like Foo Foo or rabbit).
NB here. I don't remember this as a kid myself (1981 baby), but I would play this song for my 2 years old group I taught in daycare in the late 90s early 2000s
Little bunny foo foo hopping through the forest.
Scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head!
Little bunny foo foo, preschool in early 80s, Vancouver, BC. When I moved to a different school for Grade 1, that teacher taught us rabbit foo foo. 🤷♀️
Late 70's, Vancouver. It was rabbit foo foo for us. And we used to take great satisfaction in replacing the verb and the body part of how foo foo would violate the field mice.
Bunny, from my recollection. I learned it from a woman I babysat for in the late 90s. I had never heard it before and haven't heard it from any other families over the years. I forget the actions though
70’s We learned it at camp. Sang it in rounds with The More We Get Together, Black Sock and Don’t Throw Your Junk in my Yard - does anyone remember that classic? Black Socks they never get dirty the more that you wear the cleaner they get …
Don’t throw your junk in my yard, in my yard, in my yard, don’t throw your junk in my yard, cuz my yard is full…
Little rabbit Foo Foo running through the forest picking up the field mice smack them on the head … much too violent for the little darling snowflakes of this generation!
Memories of the good old days.
Nova Scotia - I think it was just a song we sang since we were quite young, like a nursery rhyme or one of those games you clap hands with someone else.
Little bunny foo foo, alberta, very late 90s or early 2000s. I definitely remember singing it in preschool in class, likely also before that from my dad, also alberta lol
little rabbit foo foo, in the late 80s in ontario. i was an early childhood educator at the time, working with 3 year olds. the kids thought it was hilarious.
I didn't but she my mom was teaching in the late 70's early 80's they sang it.
Of course it came home 🏡.
Yes I still sing it sometimes. It's ridiculous.
New Brunswick 😉
It was rabbit and I am from NS. I think it was from daycare, not school where I learned the song. Would have been the early-mid 1990s. I think they also sang the song on kids tv programs like sesame st.
Bunny Foo Foo and I think I learned it from my siblings so I'm going with Saskatchewan though I only remember singing it in Manitoba. Late 80's early 90s.
Second verse…for every seed I sow, an apple tree will grow; and then there’ll be an apple there, enough for the whole wide world to share, the Lord is good to me. Johnny Appleseed, Amen.
Washington state, 70s, 5th grade, Camp Cispus, Little Bunny Foo Foo
The best part was Mr Rockefeller, the musclebound jock, dancing to this on stage with the other teachers
Late 80s. raised in Ontario's deep south. I had never heard it. Girl from Eastern Ontario moved down and thought it was the strangest thing that no one here had heard "Little Rabbit Foo Foo"
I think it was very regional, at least back then.
Little rabbit Foo Foo. Manitoba late 60s/early 70s. Then moved to Ontario where we leaned about little bunny Foo Foo. My mom (83) and I (61) were singing this yesterday on our way home from our road trip.
Wow, as I read through the comments I see that Little Bunny Foo Foo was quite well known. I was Born in 1965 and grew up in Ontario. I never heard of this Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo sounds like it was a thing. What did I miss out on!?
Southern Ontario, late 70's - early 80's. Probably learned in Brownies/ Girl Guides.
Little rabbit froo froo, running through the forest, scooping up the field mice and popping them on the head!
Little bunny Foo Foo. Ontario. We didn't learn it in school. We just all knew it. Maybe a camp song.
Same
It was little rabbit foo foo for me. It was a camp/Brownie song. 1980s/90s
same
Sang to my son in late 1990s in Ottawa. Learned from Sharon Lois and Braham.
I didn't know that Sharon Lois and Bram recorded a version. They were an institution for a decade of kids (at least), so I'm guessing the 90s lyrics were standardized to their version, at least somewhat.
Albertan and that's how I know it too
Same, that's how I know it, probably from ~1995.
New Brunswick, child of '87. I was also going to blame Sharon-Lois-n-Braham for this, however in I found [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EdpbhzjNpFo) and the hand actions are very familiar.

Yeah, don't look up the original Hansel & Gretel...
Wait till he reads the translation of Alouette! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alouette_(song)
Right???
Yes! I think plucking out a lark's eyes is worse than bopping a mouse on the head lol. Not that I condone any kind of senseless animal abuse.
Saskatchewan, 90s. Didn't learn it from school, but from my mom. Little Bunny Foo Foo, hopping through the forest Scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head! And of course I know all the actions!
Alberta, 90s. Exactly the same, but ‘scooping’ was replaced with ‘picking’
Bunny Foo Foo. Late 70's, early 80's. Alberta. Didn't learn it in school, but from older cousins. What do the bonus points get me?
One more chance before being turned into a goon!
Bunny, early 70s, Alberta.camp song
Also Bunny Foo Foo. Also Alberta, but mid 70s. Didn't learn it in school, as I remember already knowing it in playschool (pre-Kindergarden). I was the older cousin among our generation, so I'm not sure where I learned it. I'm guessing my Mom?
Same with the lyrics. I can’t even remember where I learned this song!
Bunny foo foo, serial killer of field mice. Alberta late 70's.
It was little Rabbit Foo Foo. Manitoba, 1970s. Learned it in 4-H.
I have no idea what you’re talking about! Born 1962 in Vancouver.
Late 70's, Quebec; also no idea.
Little Rabbit Foo Foo. Ontario. Learned it in the 1970s. Still know all the actions. Scary what takes up space in my head.
Same same
Ontario too and seriously (sigh)
Little Rabbit Foo Foo, running through the forest; Scooping up the field mice, and boppin' 'em on the head? I feel like that's the lyrics. Yukon territory, 1980.
My brain remembers little Rabbit Foo Foo Hopping through the forest, but it could have been either.
No, you're right. I'm now 80% it was "hopping", not "running". We're going to crowd source our memories to get this right!
It’s hopping. And down came the good fairy, and she said: “Little Bunny/Rabbit Froo-Froo/Foo-Foo, I don’t wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping them on their head!
One of my friends swears it's, "little bunny foo foo, I don't like your attitude, scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head."
This is the one I learned - "I don't like your attitude." I always assumed that "I don't wanna see you" was a cleaned up version!
We sang all versions. Moved a lot.
🤣
I remember it as bunny froo-froo... But I'm in my 60s and can't remember my phone number some days. The stuff you learned early stays longest.
This person knows nothing
In my childhood (1970s, Ontario) it was Little Rabbit Froo-froo. He was running through the forest, smacking field mice on the head. The good fairy gave him 3 chances, then, POOF! She turned him into a goon. The moral being, hare today, goon tomorrow.

HCA was nowhere near as awful as those Grimm brothers.
Rabbit Foo Foo southern Ontario mid to late 80’s
Rabbit, I'm pretty sure. And I'm also pretty sure I learned it from Sharon, Lois, and Brahm. In the early 80s. Ottawa.
Rabbit, BC, 1970s.
Rabbit, 70s, ON
Rabbit which is strange cause I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s in Saskatchewan the land of the bunnyhug
Hmmm. Another Saskie here and it was always Bunny Foo Foo. So, that’s how I taught it to our kids
learned it from my sister in the early 90's, who had learned it from somewhere in BC, in the mid 80's. and yes, I can do the actions *and* the voice. I know the three charcoal buzzards too *smug*
Charcoal buzzards? Of what do you speak? Do tell!
huh. seems it's "chartreuse" to many. https://youtu.be/5U3msT41KV4?feature=shared don't think much of this guy's action game though 😋 my sister and I give it a lot more drama.

Ontario, the 80s, and it was more campfire songs, not a school song.
Saskatchewan, early 70s. Rabbit Foo Foo.
Ontario, 90s, school sleep away trip at a local camp ground courtesy of the camp counsellors. "Rabbit" Foo Foo, and yes, I remember all the actions. I still remember Stella Ella Hola, Ramsamsam and about 50 other camp/skipping/schoolyard songs.
Stella, Stella, Ola! I’d forgotten about that! Now that’s going to be in my head all day. :) I’ve not heard of Ramsamsam…I’ll have to look it up! My niece is 7 and we’ve been learning clapping games.

Was it sung in French too? Pinpin sounds cuter, but fou fou, has a totally different meaning, if I remember correctly!
I have no clue what that is. Ontario. Decade? Born in 1999 I guess.
Nor me. I was around in the 70!s, maybe because I liked mice no one spoke of FooFoo.
I once went to a hypnotist show where the dozen or so unlucky participants each had their “bunnies” they found during an intermission destroyed in increasingly gruesome ways while the hypnotist sang Little Bunny Foo Foo
Bunny. Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Approximately, 2003.. teachers name was Mrs. Nice and ironically she was kinda mean
It was little rabbit foo foo when I was a kid. Would’ve been the late 80s to early 90s I’m thinking. Edit: I’m in Manitoba
I thought I remembered Rabbit Foo Foo from the late 70s, but since most Google searches came back with Bunny, I've been second-guessing myself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTqVltEy4JY This is the link to the song on YouTube!

Slightly different lyrics for me. Born mid 70s. BC. Not sure where I learnt it but I did go to Brownies so there’s a good chance it was there. It was: I’ll give you X chances. And if YOU, disobey ME, I will turn YOU into a GOON And that part was said with a talking voice rather than being sung. I sang Bunny Foo Foo, but remember hearing Rabbit Foo Foo, too.
Little Rabbit Foo Foo - Ontario - 1980s. And heck yes I can do the actions and bop those field mice on the head.

Little bunny Frooo Frooo ON Early 80s I’ll turn you into a GOOOO!!!! (Not a goon). Being turned into jelly was wayyy scarier. Learned this in daycare, then through Brownies, Girl Guides etc. That’s where I learned there are variations (like Foo Foo or rabbit).

Early 90s Saskatchewan
70’s We learned it at camp. Sang it in rounds with The More We Get Together, Black Sock and Don’t Throw Your Junk in my Yard - does anyone remember that classic? Black Socks they never get dirty the more that you wear the cleaner they get … Don’t throw your junk in my yard, in my yard, in my yard, don’t throw your junk in my yard, cuz my yard is full… Little rabbit Foo Foo running through the forest picking up the field mice smack them on the head … much too violent for the little darling snowflakes of this generation! Memories of the good old days.
It does seem to be mostly a Gen X shared memory.
My nephew who is 30 learned the songs at camp as well, but he says the words were changed though
I learned it from Sharon, Lois, and Bram!
80’s in Ontario when I learned it, and it’s bunny foo foo

Oh, the Lord is good to me, And so I thank the Lord, For giving me the things I need; The sun and the rain and the apple seed.
