Passover Song

(To be sung to the tune of "My favorite Things", from The Sound of Music) 
Cleaning and cooking and so many dishes 
Out with the hametz, no pasta, no knishes 
Fish that's gefiltered, horseradish that stings 
These are a few of our Passover things.

Chorus
When the plagues strike 
When the lice bite 
When we're feeling sad 
We simply remember our Passover things 
And then we don't feel so bad. 
Matzo and karpas and chopped up haroset 
Shank bones and kiddish and Yiddish neuroses 
Tante who kvetches and uncle who sings 
These are a few of our Passover things.

Chorus
Motzi and maror and trouble with Pharoahs 
Famines and locust and slaves with wheelbarrows 
Matzo balls floating and eggshell that clings 
These are a few of our Passover things.
