In 1878 the White House started an Easter Egg roll
It’s an annual event to celebrate the holiday, but blacks weren’t allowed to go.
Instead of being sad we all got together, and we went to the National Zoo.
For over 100 years in Nation’s Capital families go there with their crew.

Now get funky with it
You said we can’t come.
With you to have some fun
Well, this is what we say.

We made the best of
Your segregation
And turned it into a DC Holiday.

On Easter Monday
At the National Zoo
It’s a fun day
For me and you

In Chocolate City
All day
Come join the party
Ashe!

In the spirit of family
Yes, it is
And in unity
That’s right
Let’s get rockin to the beat

Have you seen any eggs?
There they go
Where they at
There they go
Where they at
There they go
Have you seen any lions?
There they go
Where they at
. . .
Where’s the tigers at?
There they go
Where they at
. . .
Where’s the people at?
There they go
Where they at
. . .

You can’t keep us down
Or stop our Go-Go Sound
Hashtag #DontMuteDC
We’ll come together as one
To learn and have some fun
Come join us and you’ll see
