Exodus Rhapsody
To the tune of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"
Me: Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Caught at the Seder
But no food is in front of me
Is this just fantasy
Caught at the Seder
But no food is in front of me
Out of Mitzra'im, but I'm just tryin' to eat...
Read my Hagadah, cheered when they crossed the sea
Because I was a slave, now I know,
Moses said we must go
Read my Hagadah, cheered when they crossed the sea
Because I was a slave, now I know,
Moses said we must go
So we cooked the matzah, doesn't even have time to rise,
To rise.
Slaves: Yaweh, just killed a lamb,
Put its blood upon my door
(This is worse than Yom Kippur)
To rise.
Slaves: Yaweh, just killed a lamb,
Put its blood upon my door
(This is worse than Yom Kippur)
Moses, once he had to run
But we knew that he'd come back again some day.
But we knew that he'd come back again some day.
God: Moses, oo oo oo, go and see that Pharaoh guy,
This burning bush thing can’t go on forever
Hurry up, hurry up, but first you must cut off your foreskin.
This burning bush thing can’t go on forever
Hurry up, hurry up, but first you must cut off your foreskin.
Me: Empty plate, no food has come
And I’ve drunk two cups of wine, head is spinning but I’m fine.
Goodbye, ev’rybody, I’ve got to go,
Gotta find some eggs or maybe chicken soup.
Matzah, oo oo oo, the afikomen we did hide
I really wish we could have eaten it…

Moses: I see a little burning bush around my lamb
Slaves: "Moses go, Moses go, will you go talk to pharaoh?"
Moses: Hello mister pharaoh will you set my people free?
Slaves: Mr. Pharaoh, Mr. Pharaoh, Mr. Pharaoh, Mr. Pharaoh
Mr. Pharaoh let us go!
Mr. Pharaoh let us go!
Pharaoh: You shall not go!
God: I’ll send some frogs, blood, hail, lice, and wild beasts
Darkness and boils, locusts and anarchy
But harden your heart so you won’t set them free!
Darkness and boils, locusts and anarchy
But harden your heart so you won’t set them free!
Moses: Plagues have come, God’s strength show, will you let us go?
God: (Harden heart!)
Pharaoh: No, I will not let you go!
Slaves: Let us go!
God: (Harden heart!)
Pharaoh: No, we will not let you go!
Slaves: Let us go!
God: (Harden heart!)
Pharaoh: No, we will not let you go!
Slaves: Let us go!
Pharaoh: Will not let you go!
Slaves: Let us go!
Pharaoh: Will not let you go!
Slaves: Let us go!
Pharaoh: Um.. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Moses: Oh mighty pharaoh, mighty pharaoh, mighty pharaoh let us go.
‘Cause Adonai has a worse plague set aside, you’ll see!
You’ll see!
You’ll see!!!!!
‘Cause Adonai has a worse plague set aside, you’ll see!
You’ll see!
You’ll see!!!!!
[Instrumental break by frogs]
Moses: So you thought you could break us but now you’ll see your first born die!
Pharaoh: Now I know why I shouldn’t upset Adonai!
Moses: Oh, Pharaoh; set my people free Pharaoh!
Pharaoh: Go on and get out, go on and get right out of here…
Me: Pescah really matters
It’s how we were freed...
It’s how we were freed...
Pesach really matters,
But I still am waiting
To eat…
But I still am waiting
To eat…
Slaves: Have a Happy Pesach!
