Lyrics[]
Thumper: Thump, thump, thump, thump
Thump, thump, thump, thump
Thumpity, thumpity, thumpity, thumpity, thump
Bambi: If you're down to your last leaf of lettuce
And the future looks gloomy to you,
Thumper: Go thumpity thump thump,
Thumpity thump thump thump
And the skies will all turn blue.
Bambi: Now, if you've lunched on your last crunchy carrot
And you're all out of celery too,
Thumper: Go thumpity thump thump,
Thumpity thump thump thump
And the sun will break right through.
Bambi: That's why a rabbit gets into the habit
Of thump thump thump and along.
And that's why a bunny is always so sunny
When some, some, something goes wrong.
Chorus: So the next time you feel kind of grumpy,
Take a tip from the cocktail crew.
Thumper: Go thumpity thump thump,
Thumpity thump thump thump
And the world will smile at you.
Chorus: Thumpity thump thump,
Thumpity thump thump thump
And the world will smile at you.
