Lyrics:
I’ve been staring at this ragged Haggadah
For what feels like forever
Just trying to get by
I wish I could understand this Hebrew
Or what they mean by dayenu
Or ‘Baruch’ or ‘Adonai’
Every Kiddish made
Every Karpas ate
I must masquerade
That I can translate
That the words I know
How the melodies go
And I’m so hungry….
See the Jews and they’re longing to be free
In Mitzrayim
Their cries of need
Their hands they bleed
The Maror on my plate is the key
It reminds me
400 years
With a strong arm, God ended all these bitter tears
I know what they mean by Afikomen
Gonna find the Afikomen
Dessert is going to be mine
Here is where they hid the Afikomen
See it says Afikomen
On this fancy napkin design
I can read with vowels
I can sing the tune
I can keep the pace
Hope they feed us soon
On this Seder night
Under this full moon
Let’s just say Motzi
See the plate as it’s passed out to me
It’s exciting
Unleavened dough
Baked on the go
And it seems like it’s calling out to me
Cause I’m starving
Two more Brochot
Another glass of wine
Yes I’ll drink that wine
See the part where God splits the sea
Now I know Mayim
The sea of reeds
We praise those deeds
If next year, we will be, living free
Yerushalem
Why Seders are slow
I’ll never know!!
