Peter Rabbit is this stupid book
About this stupid rabbit who steals
Vegetables from other peoples' gardens

[SCHROEDER, sung]
The name of the book about which
This book report is about is
Peter Rabbit which is about this
Rabbit
I found it very—
I liked the part where—
It was a—
It reminded me of Robin Hood
And the part where Little John jumped from the rock
To the Sheriff of Nottingham's back
And then Robin and everyone swung from the trees
In a sudden surprise attack
And they captured the sheriff and all of his goods
And they carry him back to their camp in the woods
And the sheriff was guest at their dinner and all
But he wriggled away and he sounded the call
And his men rushed in and the arrows flew—
Peter Rabbit did sort of that kind of thing too
[LUCY]
The other people's name was Macgregor

In examining a book such as Peter Rabbit, it is important that the superficial chracteristics of its deceptively simple plot should not be allowed to blind the reader to the more substancial fabric of its deeper motivations. In this report, I plan to discuss the sociological implications of family pressures so great as to drive an otherwise moral rabbit to perform acts of thievery which he consciously knew were against the law. I also hope to explore the personality of Mr. Macgregor, in his conflicting roles as farmer and humanitarian
Peter Rabbit is established from the start as a benevolent hero, and it is only...

If I start writing now
When I'm not really rested
It could upset my thinking
Which is no good at all
I'll get a fresh start tomorrow
And it's not due till Wednesday
So I'll have all of Tuesday
Unless something should happen
Why does this always happen?
I should be outside playing
Getting fresh air and sunshine
I work best under pressure
And there'll be lots of pressure
If I wait till tomorrow
I should start writing now
But if I start writing now
When I'm not really rested
It could upset my thinking
Which is
No good at all

The name of the rabbit was Peter

Yes!
[SCHROEDER]
Down came the staff on his head—smash!
And Robin fell like a sack full of lead—crash!
The sheriff laughed and he left him for dead—ah!
But he was wrong
[LUCY]
35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40
[SCHROEDER]
Just then an arrow flew in—whing!
It was a sign for the fight to begin—zing!
And then it looked like the sheriff would win—ah!
But not for long
Away they ran
Just like rabbits
Who run a lot
As you can tell
From the story
Of Peter Rabbit
Which this report
Is about
[SALLY/SNOOPY]
Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits, rabbits, rabbits, chasing rabbits![CHARLIE BROWN]
How do they expect us to write a book report
Of any quality
in just two days?
How can they conspire to make life so mis'rable
And so effectively in so many ways?
[LUCY]
There were vegetables
in the garden
Such as carrots and spinach and onions and
lettuce and turnips and parsley
and okra and cabbage and string beans and parsnips, tomatoes, potatoes, asparagus, cauliflower, rhubarb, and chives![LINUS]
Not to mention the extreme pressure exerted on him by his deeply rooted rivalry with Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail![CHARLIE]
If I start writing now
When I'm not really rested
It could upset my thinking
Which is no good at all
