The Song Challenge: The Great Easter Bunny Brawl
-- MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) -- When this shopping mall Easter Bunny got hopping mad, she punched out her helper bunny.
The scuffle at West Towne Mall began after the girl in the bunny suit removed the head part of her costume and set it down, a police department spokesman said Tuesday.
"Her assistant pushed her and she fell over her head," the officer said. "The Easter Bunny then got up and punched (the other bunny) a couple of times." He also stated that it wasn't clear what the two were arguing about.
The Easter Bunny and her assistant were arrested after the fracas Monday, but only the helper bunny was booked on charges and released. Since the Easter Bunny is a juvenile, she was released to her parents. However, the company that sent the "battling bunny" to the mall has fired the teen-ager and sent over a replacement.
The Easter Bunny by Kelida
(Tune: The Wild Rover)
I was the Easter Bunny that day in the mall
And I got thrown in jail when I started a brawl
My young bunny helper pushed me on my ass
And I punched her and shoved her face in easter grass
Chorus:
And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the Easter Bunny
No never, no more
She gnawed on my leg and I kicked at her ribs
Oh, how will the mall explain this to the kids?
We wrestled and routed, and rolled on the floor
Until two policemen walked in through the door.
Chorus
They just took one look, then they snapped the cuffs on
And just at that moment, my rage was all gone
They read us our rights and they carted us out
At the station they asked what the fight was about.
Chorus
Said I, 'twas not me, but they didn't buy that
It turns out that the children were nothing but rats
They told the cops everything that they had seen,
But the charges didn't stick, 'cos I'm only sixteen.
Chorus
