The Moldy Peaches Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little bunny Foo Foo
Hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin' 'em on the head!

Down came the good fairy
And the good fairy said:
"Little bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you
Scooping up the field mice and boppin' 'em on the head!
I'm gonna give you three chances,
Then I'm gonna turn you into a goon!"





Little bunny Foo Foo!

Overall Meaning

The Moldy Peaches's song Little Bunny Foo Foo is a modern twist of the traditional nursery rhyme. The song narrates the story of Little Bunny Foo Foo, who hops through the forest and catches field mice, only to bop them on the head. However, the good fairy comes down and confronts Little Bunny Foo Foo. She doesn't want to see him hurting the innocent creatures anymore and warns him that she will turn him into a goon if he continues. The fairy gives him three chances to change his ways before she takes action.


The song can be interpreted as a moral story about using power for the right reasons. Little Bunny Foo Foo represents the bully who abuses their power over others, while the good fairy represents someone who stands up for what is right and tries to protect the weak. The fairy gives Little Bunny Foo Foo an opportunity to change his ways and make amends for the harm he has caused. If he fails to take that chance, he will suffer the consequences of his actions.

Moving quickly on its hind legs through the forest
