Cemetery Bunny Lyrics

You know every morning before the sun comes up

I go walking around this little neighborhood of ours

And sometimes when I'm passing this teeny tiny graveyard down the street

Sitting next to one of those gravestones, here's what I'll see.

A cemetery Bunny with those bright red eyes

Hop over a gravestone; he almost flies

Freezes in his tracks and then he looks my way

Says do you want to play

Today

Well I don't think so

Cause he looks real mean

When I was a child all young and gay, the Easter bunny would come my way

Put eggs in a basket with a chocolate hen

And then hide them in a place that I'd never been

I'd search until I found that bundle of sin, full of things that we shouldn't eat

It's a little bit odd and a little bit funny but I never got to thank that holiday bunny

Mom said he had more baskets to hide

And my brother tried to tell me that my parents lied

And he didn't exist, but I couldn't decide

But still, I wonder as I'm walking past the burying ground and I see that

Cemetery Bunny with those bright red eyes

Hop over a gravestone; he almost flies

Freezes in his tracks and then he looks my way

Says do you want to play

Today

I don't think so

Cause he looks real mean

Yunno, I used to have a bunny in my back yard

Who said life ain't hard, let's play cards

We'd sit there in the shade and play poker all day

He'd collect his winnings and he'd hop away

But he'd be back the very next day, and we'd do it all over again

Well, I guess that you could say I got to know him well

And we were best friends for a spell

There was gentleness in every word that he said

And his bunny eyes never turned red

I know now that he's probably dead

And that makes me pretty sad

But I can't help but wonder every time that I see that

Cemetery Bunny with those bright red eyes

Hop over a gravestone; he almost flies

Freezes in his tracks and then he looks my way

Says do you want to play

Today

I don't think so

Cause he looks real mean

Yeah, he looks real mean
