Now we lay him down to rest
His bass guitar strapped firmly to his chest
One last gig he played in his head
While he lay silently dreaming in his bed
Lights, camera, action, the show must go on
Making sure the rigs were always “Rolling On”
He walked in the limelight from dusk until dawn
His wicked sense of humor will always carry on
Always stealing the show
It truly helped him to grow
Into the West End Legend that we all came to know.
Rest in Peace Bunny,
You got the girl and you will forever be in our hearts.
~Nadine
