Verse 1:
E MajorE A augmentedA
Easter time is here again and it?s the day we celebrate
E MajorE BB
The morning that the Easter Bunny rises from the grave
C# minorC#m F#F#
And if he sees his shadow then it?s six more weeks of winter
A augmentedA BB E MajorE C# minorC#m
If he doesn?t see it, everyone gets Cadbury Crème Eggs
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
And he never sees his shadow, thank the Lord
Verse 2:
E MajorE A augmentedA
Moses and the Hebrews never celebrated Easter
E MajorE BB
They were busy building pyramids and matzoh for the Greeks
C# minorC#m F#F#
So that night they set the Pharaoh?s clocks ahead one hour
A augmentedA BB E MajorE C# minorC#m
And they all escaped, and that?s why we put colored eggs in baskets
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
With jellybeans and neon plastic grass
Verse 3:
E MajorE A augmentedA

E MajorE BB
But the word in Aramaic for ?apostles? is ?apeeps?
C# minorC#m F#F#
And that is how they got the name for those marshmallow treats
A augmentedA BB E MajorE C# minorC#m
So every time you eat those little yellow chicks and bunnies
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
You actually are swallowing Apostles
Verse 4:
E MajorE A augmentedA
So that?s the Easter story even though we didn?t mention
E MajorE BB
Anything about the burning bush or chocolate-covered Popes
C# minorC#m F#F#
You might want to do a bit more research on the details
A augmentedA BB E MajorE C# minorC#m
?cause in truth I mostly slept my way through Sunday school
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
But at least I?m pretty sure that?s how it goes
