My mama used to tell me when I was just a boy
If you want to grow up happy, you gotta fill your life with joy
When somebody calls you and says, "Hey, come out and play!"
Jump at the opportunity, listen to what I say
You gotta hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Like a happy rabbit, you gotta hop to it
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Like a happy rabbit, you gotta hop to it
Doo doo doo, do you want to have a good day?
This is how it starts:
Wake up in the morning feeling happy in your heart
If someone should ask you, "Do you wanna dance?"
Come on, don't be shy now, you gotta jump at the chance
You gotta hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Like a happy rabbit, you gotta hop to it
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Like a happy rabbit, you gotta hop to it
Alright everybody, let's hop to it now!
Get yourselves movin' and groovin'!
Doo doo doo, do you want to know a secret?
I've got one for you:
If you want to live a good life there's one thing you should do
When you see someone unhappy who needs a helping hand
Jump at the chance to be a friend, give all the love you can
You gotta hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Like a happy rabbit, you gotta hop to it
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Hop to it, doo doo doo doo
Like a happy rabbit, you gotta hop to it
Doo doo doo doo doo
