As a child in the 1960's, Kaptain Kangaroo would say on his show, that "Mr.Greenjeans says: If you say 'Rabbit, Rabbit' the first thing in the morning, on the First Day of the Month, as you jump out of bed, before your feet hit the floor, then you will have GOOD LUCK ALL MONTH LONG."

I'm trying to look for the origins of this saying. but, that's how I learned about it. i still do it to this day.

The only reason I know anything about this is I've heard it for years on the first of every month from an Indianapolis radio sports announcer (Chick@WFBQ). I've never heard it anywhere else. I've heard it on this radio show for so many years that I actually look forward to the 1st of the month just so I can hear him sign on at 6am (seriously, the first thing he says as the into music plays is "RABBIT! RABBIT! RABBIT!). The "Bob and Tom Show" from Indy is syndicated so maybe you can check it out yourself next time the 1st of the month falls on a weekday. Mike Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit!
