(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.
