Lyrics
(Folk song)
Five brown eggs in a nest of hay…
One yellow chick popped out to play.
Four brown eggs in a nest of hay…
One yellow chick cheep-cheeped good day.
Three brown eggs in a nest of hay…
Crack went another one, hip-hooray.
Two brown eggs in a nest of hay…
One more chick pecked his shell away.
One brown egg in a nest of hay…
The last yellow chick popped out to say,
Happy Easter!
