The world's overrun with new shades of green,
D
and the dandelions come up like recurring dreams,
D
and the swallows give up their fragile little songs
G               D
to the new world.

D
And I know you're only watching out for yourself,
D
and I'm not to take it real personal-like,
G
and I know you only want what's best for everybody.
G                                         D
I know you only want what's best for everybody.
A                       G
But you better be nice, or the Easter Bunny's
G
gonna strike your name out of the little read book
G                                           D
with the silver hinges on it that he carries.
D
They've implemented a new system on the exhaust lines of the buses,
D
and now the air is fresh and sweet and clean when they pass by,
D       G
and the bright sun shines down on our fair city,
G                                      D
young cats play on people's front lawns.
D
And the time is coming.
D
And the time is coming.
D
And I can feel the time coming.
G                                               D
And I know you can feel the time coming yourself.

And the Easter Bunny's coming,
G                                        D
and God knows I'd hate for you to miss it.
G                                           D
It's gonna be so nice when the Easter Bunny comes.
G                                           D
It's gonna be so nice when the Easter Bunny comes.
G                                           D
It's gonna be so nice when the Easter Bunny comes.
G
It's gonna be so nice when the Easter Bunny comes.
