The Matzah Making Song
(to the tune of "Row, row, row your boat) 
Roll, roll, roll your dough.
Make it nice and round.
Make it flat,
Poke lots of holes,
And bake it till it's brown. 
​
Picture
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. 
​
Listen King Pharoah 
Oh listen, oh listen
Oh listen King Pharoah
Oh listen, oh listen
Please let my people go.
They want to go away
They work too hard all day
King Pharoah, King Pharoah
What do you say?
"No, No, No.
I will not let them go."
No, no, no, he will not let them go.

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! ​
The Frog Song 
One morning when Pharaoh awoke in his bed
There were frogs in his bed, and frogs on his head
​Frogs on his nose and frogs on his toes
Frogs here, frogs there
Frogs were jumping everywhere. 
​
Picture
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) 

​

THE ORDER OF THE SEDER (to the tune of "It's A Small World") 
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.
