In any case, the earliest attestations I've been able to find are two from 1970. One is in Beverly Cleary's novel Runaway Ralph. The talking mouse Ralph finds himself at a summer camp, and is frightened to hear a boy singing 'Little Rabbit Fru-fru'. The other is from an article in the January 17 issue of The New Yorker, which mentions 'little Bunny Phoo Phoo' (spelled P-H-O-O) as a character in a children's story.

Even the end of the story varies from one version to another, the most popular one ends with the rabbit punished, becoming a goon! This book is a cheeky, fun short book which is simple to read. A naughty little rabbit called 'Rabbit Foo Foo' rides through the forest annoying all the other animals; from worms to tigers. He enjoys bopping them on the head with a mallet and rides away on his bike giggling at his antics. Give children paper and crayons to draw their own goonie. Talk about the drawing with them. What is it going to look like, what might it do? Play the story Children can act out the story as you read or recite it aloud – practice in pretending to bop animals on the head will be important first of all! In the South Park episode " Something You Can Do with Your Finger", Butters sings "Little Bunny Foo Foo" to audition for a boy band. A fairy comes down and warns Rabbit Foo Foo to stop bopping the animals over the head and gives him three chances to stop, warning him that she will turn him into a 'goonie' if he carries on. Little Rabbit Foo Foo does not listen to the fairy and continues to bop animals on the head.The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic chapter book Fluttershy and the Fine Furry Friends Fair references the poem with a mentioned circus rabbit whose routine involves field mice. Age 0-5 years Little Rabbit Foo Foo enjoys nothing more than speeding through the forest and bopping any poor hapless creatures he comes across on the head. However, he is being watched by the Good Fairy who warns him that he will have three chances to change and if he doesn’t change she will turn him into a Goonie!
