There may not be many of you kids out there who remember Gene Autry - a matinee cowboy of Nana's childhood days. He and Roy Rogers graced the silver screen in about the same era and each helped to form our childhood belief in the triumph of good over evil. We
grew up going to Saturday afternoon movies at the local theater.
There, while munching popcorn and jujubees, we learned - the good guys
ALWAYS win. And
they always wear white hats. Gene recorded this classic Easter song during the late 40's or early 50's and it continues to stand the test of time. I found my old favorite in numerousl places across cyberspace, but I've put my own spin on it for you - by adding clinks to match. As a point of further interest, Gene wrote the classic Christmas favorite "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer", too.

There are, at a rough estimate, two zillion places online where
you can hear "Peter Cottontail" this Easter. But I'll just bet this
is the only one fluffed out with great stuff to enterain the kids while mom
gets dinner on the table. There are pages to color, a paper sculpture bunny
to build, some original art, and so forth. Click around a bit here... it's
hard to tell what might turn up - and Have Fun ! ![]()
Here comes Peter Cottontail Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way.
Bringin' ev'ry girl and boy
A

There's an orchid for your mommy
And an Easter bonnet too.
Oh! Here' comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin'

Hippity hoppity Happy Easter Day
Look at him

"Try to do the things you should
"Maybe if you're extra good
He'll

You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find

That he's hiding ev'rywhere,
Oh! Here'

Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity
