Lyrics[]
The world's overrun with new shades of green And the dandelions come up like recurring dreams And the swallows give up their fragile little songs To the new world And I know you're only watching out for yourself And I know I'm not to take it real personal-like And I know you only want what's best for everybody I know you only want what's best for everybody But you better be nice or the Easter Bunny's Gonna strike your name out of the Little red book with the silver hinges on it That he carries They've implemented a new system on the exhaust lines of the buses And now the air is fresh and sweet and clean when they pass by And the bright sun shines down on our fair city And young cats play on people's front lawns And the time is coming And the time is coming And I can feel the time coming And I know that you can feel the time coming yourself And the Easter Bunny's coming And God knows I'd hate for you to miss it It's gonna be so nice When the Easter Bunny comes It's gonna be so nice When the Easter Bunny comes It's gonna be so nice When the Easter Bunny comes It's gonna be so nice When the Easter Bunny comes
Comments by John Darnielle About this Song[]
- "So what, Easter is this Sunday, yeah? Or is this Palm Sunday coming up? No, it's only a week, it's only a week and a half, I'm pretty sure. Anyway, this is a song for that occasion. It's a pretty old song." -- 1996-03-20 - The Garage - London, England
