E
[Verse 1]
E A
Easter time is here again and it’s the day we celebrate
E B
The morning that the Easter Bunny rises from the grave
C#m F#
And if he sees his shadow then it’s six more weeks of winter
A B E C#m
If he doesn’t see it, everyone gets Cadbury Crème Eggs
A B E
And he never sees his shadow, thank the Lord
[Verse 2]
E A
Moses and the Hebrews never celebrated Easter
E B
They were busy building pyramids and matzoh for the Greeks
C#m F#
So that night they set the Pharaoh’s clocks ahead one hour
A B E C#m
And they all escaped, and that’s why we put colored eggs in baskets
A B E
With jellybeans and neon plastic grass
[Verse 3]
E A
Plus there was that final supper with the twelve Apostles
E B
But the word in Aramaic for “apostles” is “apeeps”
C#m F#
And that is how they got the name for those marshmallow treats
A B E C#m
So every time you eat those little yellow chicks and bunnies
A B E
You actually are swallowing Apostles
[Verse 4]
E A
So that’s the Easter story even though we didn’t mention
E B
Anything about the burning bush or chocolate-covered Popes
C#m F#
You might want to do a bit more research on the details
A B E C#m
‘cause in truth I mostly slept my way through Sunday school
A B E
But at least I’m pretty sure that’s how it goes
