Run Rabbit Run ( Rus. Run, rabbit, run ) - a song written in 1939 by Noel Gay (music) and Ralph Butler (text).

The song was written for the Noel show, The Little Dog Laughed, which premiered on October 11, 1939 — many London theaters were closed at that time.
The song was popular during World War II , especially after Flanagan and Allen sang the parody of “Run Adolf , Run Adolf, Run, Run, Run ……”

On the farm, every Friday
On the farm, it's a rabbit pie day.
So, every Friday that ever comes along,
I get up early
Run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Goes the farmer's gun.
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run.
Run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Don't give the farmer his fun! Fun! Fun!
He'll get by
Without his rabbit pie
So run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Translation
On the farm every friday
On the farm rabbit pie
And so every Friday
I get up early and sing this song
Run, rabbit - run, rabbit - run, run, run!
Run, rabbit - run, rabbit - run, run, run!
“Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! ”
A farmer shoots a gun
Run, rabbit - run, rabbit - run.
Run, rabbit - run, rabbit - run, run, run!
Do not deliver the farmer joy, joy, joy!
He will remain then
Without your cake
And therefore run, rabbit - run, rabbit - run, run, run!
