"Akmal Shaikh was British and bipolar. He wanted to celebrate world peace with a song on rabbits. He was executed in China instead. Please listen to his song and his story."

3. the song I know that says "come little rabbit"....

...is about a man who lives in a cottage in the wood and saves a rabbit from the hunters.

In a cottage in the wood
Little old man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
Help me! Help me! sir he said
Or the hunters shoot me dead
Come little rabbit, come with me
Happy we will always be
