The Building Song
Bang, bang, bang Hold your hammer low Bang, bang, bang Give a heavy blow For it's work, work, work Every day and every night, For it's work, work, work When it's dark and when it's light. Dig, dig, dig Get your shovel deep Dig, dig, dig There's no time for sleep For it's work, work, work Every day and every night For it's work, work, work When it's dark and when it's light.
Passover Song
(to tune of “London Bridge”) Moses freed the Jewish slaves, Jewish slaves, Jewish slaves, Moses freed the Jewish slaves, On Passover. He told the Pharaoh let them go..... He told the Pharaoh let them go, On Passover. Moses parted the Red Sea..... Moses parted the Red Sea, So they could be free. He led them safely to the shore..... He led them safely to the shore, Slaves they'll be no more!
Let My People Go
When Israel was in Egypt's land, Let my people go! Oppressed so hard they could not stand Let my people go! Chorus: Go down, Moses, Way down in Egypt land Tell ol' Pharaoh Let my people go! Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said Let my people go! If not, I'll smite your people dead, Let my people go! As Israel stood by the water side, Let my people go! By G-d's command it did divide, Let my people go! A Few Silly Songs, Just for Fun
I WILL NOT LET THEM GO (to the tune of "Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho")
Oh no, Oh no I will not let them go I will not let the Jews go free Oh no, Oh no, Oh no. Oh No, Oh no. I will not let them go Your people will not leave this land Oh no, Oh no. Don't Sit on the Afikomen (to the tune of "Glory, Glory, Halleluyah")
My Dad at every Seder breaks a Matza piece in two And hides the Afikomen half-A game for me and you Find it, hold it ransom for the Seder isn't through 'till the Afikomen's gone. Chorus: Don't sit on the Afikomen. Don't sit on the Afikomen. Don't sit on the Afikomen. Or the Meal will last all night One year Daddy hid it 'neath a pillow on a chair But just as I raced over, my Aunt Sophie sat down there She threw herself upon it-Awful crunching filled the air And crumbs flew all around (Chorus) There were matza crumbs all over-Oh, it was a messy sight We swept up all the pieces though it took us half the night So, if you want your seder ending sooner than dawn's light, Don't sit on the Afiko-o-men (Chorus) |

We wash our hands And we bless the wine Greens put in salt water Dippings so fine There's so much that we see Celebrating we're free It's our Pass-Over seder. (Chorus) It's our Pass-Over seder It's our Pass-Over seder It's our Pass-Over seder It's our Passover seder. We break the matzah Four questions are asked We tell the story About our past The motzi we say Because that is the way Of our Pass-Over seder. (Chorus) It's our Pass-Over seder It's our Pass-Over seder It's our Pass-Over seder It's our Passover seder. Les Miselijah
(to the tune of "Do you hear the people Sing" from Les Miserables) Do you hear the doorbell ring, And it's a little after ten? It can only be Elijah Come to take a sip again. He is feeling pretty fine But in his head a screw is loose. So perhaps instead of wine We should give him juice. |
