The Easter Song

Easter time is here again

And it's the day we celebrate

The morning that the Easter Bunny rises from the grave

And if he sees his shadow then it's six more weeks of winter

If he doesn't see it, everyone gets Cadbury Crème Eggs

And he never sees his shadow, thank the Lord

Moses and the Hebrews never celebrated Easter

They were busy building pyramids and matzoh for the Greeks

So that night they set the Pharaoh's clocks ahead one hour

And they all escaped, and that's why we put colored eggs in baskets

With jellybeans and neon plastic grass

Plus there was that final supper with the twelve Apostles

But the word in Aramaic for "apostles" is "apeeps"

And that is how they got the name for those marshmallow treats

So every time you eat those little yellow chicks and bunnies

You actually are swallowing Apostles

So that's the Easter story

Even though we didn't mention

Anything about the burning bush

Or chocolate-covered Popes

You might want to do a bit more research on the details

'cause in truth I mostly slept my way through Sunday school

But at least I'm pretty sure that's how it goes
