If you are a real die-hard you can always try the "Sweet Child O' Mine" Solo on it. Actually you should do this on all Hate Your Friends Songs.

CHORUS #3 (SAME) 
Last line though is " I'd like to stick my carrot in you!"

From: Alistair Duguid (kma@best.com)

I am attaching the original lyrics of "I am a Rabbit", which I wrote
some time in 1978 or early 1979, and Proud Scum performed for around a
couple of years starting in 1979. From the beginning, it was one of our
most popular songs.

The Lemonhead version does have a few differences. The first line may be
the "dope" line you have - I've listened to it, and I can't quite get
it. The "bliss" line in the bridge though, seems wrong. I think I hear
the "lettuce" line fairly intact when I listen to the Lemonheads.

Even in Proud Scum, we didn't perform it exactly as first written. In
particular, the second line, which I wrote as "That I'm not like a man
at all" was always sung by our singer Jonty Jamrag as "That I am not a
man at all".

An original Proud Scum version is on AK79, repressed recently in an
expanded and updated CD version, by Propeller Records, and (I
understand) still available, at least in New Zealand.

I hope this helps with your lyrics page. Thanks for doing the work to
keep it up. I, for one enjoyed it.

Best wishes,

Alistair (Rabbit) Duguid

"I Am A Rabbit" - Proud Scum
copyright 1979 Alistair Rabbit

--Verse 1--
You say you've seen my kind before
That I'm not sexy any more
Nor are you!
You say I am an animal
That I'm not like a man at all
Well it's true!

--Chorus--
I am a rabbit
I've got to have it
It's force of habit
I'd like to share my carrot
With you

--Verse 2--
You say I've got a one track mind
That I just want to have a grind
With you
Well I don't to marry you
I just want to get through
You

--Chorus x 1--

--Bridge--
You're just a bit of lettuce as far as I'm concerned
I don't want to go with you to the point of no return
That's because I am a rabbit
(solo)

--Chorus x 1--
(last 2 lines change to "I'd like to stick my carrot/Into you!"
