Colored Egg Lyrics & Chords By Balthrop, Alabama

Easter Sunday's nearly a month away
But the boiled egg is gonna have its heyday
Like Martin Luther King Jr. in January
Look at that colored egg
Holding my hands stained(?)

I remember bending coat hangers
And dipping them in the water
Paas was the cause of all the pretty colors
Look at that pretty water
Look at that colored egg
Look at that colored egg

Martin(?) you remember being so iconical
I read your story in the daily chronicle
It wasn't funny then but now it seems kinda comical
To hold you up like a colored egg
I remember spreading newspapers
Across the kitchen table
I could not wait to dip those eggs into the water
As soon as I was able
Look at that colored egg [x4]
Heeeyyyyyyyy

It's a shame we had to learn about you
From the television
It made you look fatter
And whiter
And stupider, yeah

It's a shame we had to learn about you
From the television
It makes you look fatter
And whiter
And stupider, yeah
Ooooh yeah
Look at that colored egg [x4]
