    I knew what that was about! Only we say "White Rabbits". If you say it first, then the other person has to buy you a present. My husband has a ex-student who often calls the school and leaves him a "white rabbits" message on the first of the month...

    I always thought you had to say "Rabbit Rabbit" the last thing before going to sleep on the last day of the month, and the first thing upon waking up on the first of the month. The former is easy, because you can just say it again if you have to say something else before you fall asleep. The latter is harder because it's hard to remember when you first wake up.

    Now I just say it when I think of it around the first of each month.

    That is a lyric from one of my favorite songs and I never understood what that part meant. Thanks!!!

    Ok, so now someone help me understand the 13th finger line.

    Blew twelve and kissed the thirteenth finger.
    "Rabbit, rabbit," on the first.

    Rabbit, Rabbit, how funny. I use to work with this guy about twenty years ago and we always tried to get each other on the first of the month with the Rabbit rabbit. The loser had to buy the other one a coffee. Thanks for a great memory.

    Yeah, kiwigirl and Tee Ell - I remember all that

    We used to say just "Rabbits"; but my Mum grew up in rural Southland

    That is SO funny! My husband is from the west coast and he says "rabbit rabbit rabbit" on the first of every month. Even if we're sleeping in different cities, I'll get a message on my cellphone with that phrase! He's got me doing it too!

    White rabbits here too! Every first of the month... before midday... (but had not heard of rabbit rabbit)

    Thanks Geonz for the links to explain it

    But I guess I'm a few days late now...

    When campfire smoke gets in our eyes, we always say "I hate rabbits" or "I hate white rabbits".

    I have no idea why....
