[Verse 1]
Eggbert, the Easter egg
Was a pretty little Easter egg
Cutest thing you ever saw
In the window of a big department store
All day the children came
Noses pressed against the windowpane
Spoke to Eggbert, but alack
Eggbert cried because he couldn't answer back
Then all at once, the clouds rolled by
To let the sun shine through
Believe it or not, it got so hot
That Eggbert split in two
Out popped a baby chick
A teeny weeny little baby chick
And the children hear him say
"Eggbert wishes you a happy Easter day"
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
Eggbert, the Easter egg
Was a pretty little Easter egg
Cutest thing you ever saw
In the window of a big department store
All day the children came
Noses pressed against the windowpane
Spoke to Eggbert, but alack
Eggbert cried because he couldn't answer back
Then all at once, the clouds rolled by
To let the sun shine through
Believe it or not, it got so hot
That Eggbert split in two
Out popped a baby chick
A teeny weeny little baby chick
And the children hear him say
"Eggbert wishes you a happy Easter day"
