‘Run, rabbit, run’

Bud Flanagan (1896 - 1968) and Chesney Allen (1893 - 1982) became famous in the 1930s as part of the Crazy Gang - a group of popular entertainers based on three double-acts.

During the War they released a number of popular songs. These included 'Underneath the arches', 'We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line'…and probably best-known of all, 'Run, rabbit, run'.
