Pharaoh, Pharaoh, listen to me Pharaoh,
Pharaoh, Pharaoh, let my people go.
Moses, Moses, here what I say.
The Hebrews will not go free today.
No, No, No, leave me now.
Moses, Moses, don't have a cow.
Pharaoh, Pharaoh, water shall turn to blood.
Your response to me is cursed Egyptian mud.
And so the first plague took place,
Pharaoh did not change his face.
Moses, Moses, Moses, you're a disgrace.
Leave me now, quick make haste.
Okay Pharaoh, hope you like some frogs.
They'll be coming soon as large as old Egyptian dogs.
Frogs appeared here and there.
Some landed in Pharaoh;s underwear.
But Pharaoh told Moses,
Nothing is going to change.
Your plagues are truly
Getting too deranged.
Okay Pharaoh, listen to my advice.
Free the Hebrews or suffer from some lice.
And so the lice appeared throughout the land.
Pharaoh was upset but refused Moses command.
I'm telling you Pharaoh, the Lord never lies.
Time for you to suffer from wild animals and flies.
Pharaoh was getting steamed.
He was very very upset.
No, no, no, I'm not going to give up yet.
Too bad Pharaoh,
Your livestock's about to suffer.
Hope you're a vegetarian
Because that's all you'll have for supper.
The goats, the sheep, and cattle,
They suffered terrible fates.
Pharaoh was getting angry.
No meat upon his plate.
Next there will be boils.
Your skin is going to crawl.
Come on Pharaoh.
It's time that you played ball.
No way Moses.
Oh man these boils really suck.
Sorry Moses,
You're running out of luck.
How about a little hail?
I'm sure you'll enjoy this too.
Banging on your palace
Is the right thing to do.
Stop it! Stop it!
Enough is enough.
I say no to your demands.
I'm not giving up.
Time for some locusts.
Come my little pretty.
Pharaoh, I hope you enjoy the swarm.
Oh dear, you're not so witty.
I will never let the Hebrews go.
You might as well split the scene.
Can't you see that I'm not changing my mind.
Just call me Mr. Mean.
I don't think you've seen the light.
Darkness for three days.
After that I think you'll realize
The errors of your ways.
But even after all these plagues,
Pharaoh wouldn't change his mind.
Looks like its time for one final resort.
Firstborn Egyptian's killing time.
Finally, Pharaoh told Moses
The Hebrews may all leave.
And off they left from Egypt
As Pharaoh started to grieve.
But as we know Pharaoh
Changed his mind.
He sent his soldiers after the Hebrews.
Leave no bodies left behind.
Ah but Moses through the Lord
Split the Red Sea into half.
The Hebrews were all allowed
To avoid the soldiers' grasp.
Instead, the Red Sea swallowed the Egyptians.
The threat to the Hebrews was gone.
And we remember this day on Passover
For all to sing along.

Thank you for the poetic tale of Passover, It comes right before Easter or does it come at the same time?

Comes around the same time, but usually before Easter.
