Verse:
A minorAm
Jennifer slept in her little bed
   G+G                A minorAm
With dreams of a rabbit in her little head.

A minorAm
Jennifer's rabbit, brown and white,
G+G
Left the house and ran away one night
A minorAm             G+G
Along with the turtle and a kangaroo
  A minorAm             G+G  A minorAm
And seventeen monkeys from the city zoo,
  E MajorE    A minorAm
And Jennifer too.

   DmDm               A minorAm
They ran through the forest and they all held hands.
   G+G             A minorAm
They came to the ocean with the cookie crumb sands.
DmDm            A minorAm
Called it the sea of the very best dreams,
                  G+G     A minorAm
And they all built a castle of the best moon beams.
  E MajorE     A minorAm
And milky way streams.
   A minorAm
And there on the sand where the star fish play,
   G+G
The ship sailed in from the moonbeam bay,
     A minorAm            G+G
And they all went sailing on the starlight sea
      AM          G+G   A minorAm
Where they all had cookies with oolong tea,
  E MajorE     |A minorAm
And Jenny had three.

   DmDm             AM
They danced on the decks of the red-sailed brig;
   G+G              A minorAm
The monkeys and the sailors did a whirling jig.
 DmDm               A minorAm
Turtle played the fiddle and the rabbit played kazoo,
                G+G     AM
And they bowed to each other as polite folks do.
   E MajorE      AM
And Jenny bowed too.

    A minorAm
Then, "My!" said the turtle as the clock struck three,
   G+G
"The hour is growing very late for me."
    A minorAm                G+G
"Not at all," said the rabbit, "And I'll tell you why,
  A minorAm              G+G     A minorAm
We still haven't counted every star in the sky."
   E MajorE      A minorAm
Said Jenny, "Let's try."

     DmDm              A minorAm
So they counted on the ship and they counted on the shore;
   G+G                A minorAm
They counted through the forest to the bedroom door.
    DmDm              A minorAm
They counted in bed till they could count no more,
                  G+G   A minorAm
Then they all fell asleep and the final score
   E MajorE      A minorAm
Was a trillion and four.

     DmDm              A minorAm
Yes, the rabbit and the turtle and the kangaroo,
              G+G      A minorAm
And Jenny fell asleep like sleepy folks do,
E MajorE     A minorAm  Asus2Asus2  A augmentedA
Just like you.
