     Our Passover Things

     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 chametz, no pasta or knishes
     Fish that's gefilted, 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.

     Matzah and karpas and chopped up charoset 
     Shankbones and kiddush and yiddish neuoses 
     Tante who kvetches and uncle who sings 
     These are a few of our Passover things.

        Chorus

     Motzi and marror and trouble with Pharaohs 
     Famines and locusts and slaves with wheelbarrows 
     Matzah balls floating and eggshell that clings 
     These are a few of our Passover things.

        Chorus
