lyrics

8 Days Sephardic

Prologue:

On Pesach we learn the ancient story
How Moses saved the Jews from slavery

But in their haste, so quickly they fled
So now for 8 days we don’t eat bread

But a question they don’t answer in Sunday school...
On Pesach how do we keep our cool?

-------

Let me tell you a trick, for the 8 days of Pesach be Sephardic!

-------

8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!

Rice is fine so hold your chopstick, cuz on Pesach you’re Sephardic!
Chickpeas or lentils take your pick, cuz on Pesach you’re gonna be Sephardic

8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!

Don’t let the matzah sit like a brick, cuz on Pesach you’re Sephardic!
Eat your corn and grab your toothpick, cuz on Pesach you’re gonna be Sephardic

8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!

Don’t listen to the Passover politic, cuz on Pesach you’re Sephardic!
Be like Moses, be a maverick, cuz on Pesach you’re gonna be Sephardic

8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!

No kitniyot, ah fiddlestick! cuz on Pesach you’re Sephardic!
Hands up if you like this limerick, cuz on Pesach you’re gonna be Sephardic

8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!
