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
