[Kent Bailey <baileyk...>]

Adrian,

Thanks!  I now feel so fortunate to be over 50.
Here's the tune for the non-elderly.

First you bless a cup of wine,
Wash your hands before you dine,
Dip the parsley, What a treat...
...Break a Matzah but do not eat.

Tell the whole Passover tale,
Wash again, scrub every nail,
Ma Nishtana Ha Laila Ha Zeh
We're doin' the Passover Rag

Bless the bread and then the Matzah, then
Take one piece, and then take lotsa', then
Dip those bit-ter herbs of slavery
In Charoset, sweet and savory,

...Then the best part of the Seder
...Pour the Wine, don't wait 'til later,
2, 4, 6, 8
Eat all the kugel on your plate.

For dessert there's Afikoman,
When at home lean like a Roman,
Thank God for food and
Sing God is good and

That's the Passover, 
We had a gas over,
That's The Passover Ra-a-a-g...
That's the Passover Rag.
