Lyrics
He was a boy, it was pesach / Can I make it any more obvious? / He liked to say all four questions / And twice he washed his hands / He ate his sandwich that fashioned Hillel's / And on the story he liked to dwell / By the second glass of Manischewitz / That seder sure made him shvitz
CHORUS:
He was a seder boy & for sure he's not a goy
Can you pass the matzah down
Or maybe some charosets, the parsley will take a dip
Deep into the salt water
No bread for eight whole days or even tomato paste
Unless you are Sephardic
At the seder tonight he will not put up a fight
As long as he can be the smart kid
A few years ago, the Jews led by Mo' / Decided to leave the Egyptian scene / They wanted to leave, and to the Red Sea / They walked with Pharaoh behind them / Mo' picked up his stick, the sea it did split / And they walked across onto dry land / They danced and they sang as Pharaoh looked on / At the god that he turned down
CHORUS
Now it's time for the seder / Parsley is dipped in salt water / To remind us of the bitter tears / That they wept for many years / Hard-boiled eggs and the shank bone / Horseradish sets a bitter tone / Matzah ball soup makes up for it / Especially when you are sick
He's just a boy, and it's just pesach / Can I make it any more obvious / He'd always find the afikomen 'cause every year it's / In the cookie tin
CHORUS
