Before the bunny show
The legend here was told
The first to hide the eggs
Was a long-horn with four legs
Instead of hiding eggs
Behind the shrubs and lilacs
He was always caught
Feeding his seven stomachs
This critter had a hunger
And so this is what he did
He ate up all the grasses
Where the goodies should be hid
He tried to kick the habit
Have something else to munch
But the only patches working
Were the ones he had for lunch
Oh, how now Easter cow
Will you get off the grass?
How now Easter cow
Do you eat grass so fast?
How now Easter cow
Do you eat all those buds?
How now, bow wow
Meow, Easter cow
Will you stop chewing cud?
His sidekick was a hare
The bunny waited there
For him to get his fill up
He ate until he hicupped
By dawn's early light
You could see the lawn was gone
Just when hope had dimmed
The rabbit's plan was drawn
He said, ‽Till you get help”
I'll be the one who is in charge here
The Easter cow said, ‽Bless you”
And he headed for some clover
Easter changed forever
When the rabbit hid the eggs
But we still miss that bovine
Two ears, one moo, four legs
Oh, how now Easter cow
Will you get off the grass?
How now Easter cow
Do you eat grass so fast?
How now Easter cow
Do you eat all those buds?
How now, bow wow
Meow, Easter cow
Will you stop chewing cud?
Moo-moo, moo-moo
Moo-moo, moo-moo, moo-moo
Moo-moo, moo-moo
Moo-moo, moo-moo, moo-moo
Your herbivorian tastes
Cost you your Easter place
I am sorry if this hurts
You've got no bunny traits
Moo-moo, moo-moo, moo
Moo-moo, moo-moo, moo-moo
Oh, how now Easter cow
Will you get off the grass?
How now Easter cow
Do you eat grass so fast?
How now Easter cow
Do you eat all those buds?
How now, bow wow
Meow, Easter cow
Will you stop chewing cud?
