The Cartoon That Haunted Me, Now a Halloween Song

Bugs Bunny in a witch costume. Witch Hazel who wants a rabbit for Halloween. A magic potion that goes very wrong. 🐰🧙‍♀️🎃 "A Rabbit for Halloween" is Marc Gunn's (The Celtfather) autoharp retelling of the classic Looney Tunes cartoon "Broom-Stick Bunny." An ugly witch is threatened by Bugs Bunny dressed as an even uglier witch. Then Witch Hazel discovers Bugs is really a rabbit, and she needs one for her potion. In the chaos, she accidentally drinks a potion that makes her beautiful, and the Genie in the mirror goes ga-ga and chases after her on his flying carpet. I wrote this song back in 2006 on my autoharp, and it appears on my CD What Color Is Your Dragon?: http://www.celticmusic.org/WhatColorIsYourDragon 🍺 Want to hear a song?

If she'd Stop trying to kill me I wouldn't care one bit That she was witch with a tiny hitch, Which was… The spellcasting itch. Now I'm running through the halls I'm running through the rooms I run into a closet and climb up on a broom. I fly up in the sky across the yellow moon But the witch's eye with a lustful gleam Wants a rabbit… For Halloween. She opened up her door, and saw That I was one ugly witch But it's Halloween and I trick or treat My witch mask is rich But her magic mirror on the wall Said, "She's uglier than thou." And now I find sweat on my brow From her… Spellcasting tao. Now I'm running through the halls I'm running through the rooms I run into a closet and climb up on a broom. I fly up in the sky across the yellow moon But the witch's eye with a lustful gleam Wants a rabbit… For Halloween. You should know that I'm a rabbit And you are just a witch I know your mama loved you once, so I accept the glitch But once you drink that potion Your Genie on the wall Entralled will whistle his cat call And chase… You down the hall Then you're running through the halls You're running through the rooms You run into a closet and climb up on your broom You fly up in the sky across the yellow moon But the Genies's eye with a lustful gleam Wants you… For Halloween. 🍀 TRAVEL WITH THE CELTFATHER Join me on a small-group Celtic Invasion Vacation.
