"Rabbit Tango" lyrics - PATTI LUPONE

If there's a rabbit
Then you should grab it
Then you should grab it
Gently nab it by the paws
And then sincerely
You hold it nearly
As you await the sudden hush and then applause
Now with that rabbit as if by habit
You begin that thrilling dance across the floor
While in the hot light
Of your own spotlight
There's a magic that you never knew before

For bingo bang-o
It is a tango
You hear the violins above and the bass beneath
It is dramatic

It's so dramatic
As the bunny holds a rose between its teeth

[Spanish]

Do you want to dance?

If there's a rabbit
Then you should grab it
Then you should grab it
Gently nab it as it twirls
But if there's not one
You haven't got one
And so the tango that we spoke of won't occur
