Tunes to set your Passover Mood by JCW

GILLIGAN'S EXODUS (SUNG TO GILLIGAN'S
ISLAND) [ed. note:
Apologies to George Gershwin. Now I know why the castaways were always excited when
they saw natives; since there were only seven of them, they had a chance to have a minyan] |
Recline right
back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. |
that started many
years ago in old, ancient Egypt. |
The Jews were
forced to work as slaves, they suffered that ordeal. |
We celebrated
their Exodus with a three hour meal, a three hour meal! |
The Pharoah was
an evil dude, his wrath would not replent |
If not for the
effort of the fearless jews.....we'd all be keeping |
Lent(2x) |
They landed in
the desert after parting the Red Sea |
With Moses, and
Aaron too, each Israelite and his wife |
A movie star, the
Professor and Miriam.........here on Passover night!! |
I'm not sure why she couldn't get Babulyanicks into that
one. Jan's last song for this evening is a little ditty entitled
"AFIKOMAN" and sung to "Oklahoma", music by Richard Rogers.
Another song, sent to the Newsletter by Jan, is entitled "THE
PASSOVER SONG" and is sung to Rogers and Hammerstein's "My Favorite
Things".

AFIKOMAN (SUNG TO '"OKLAHOMA) |
 |

|
Aaaaa.......fikoman!
what a very special Pesach treat. |
A
dessert we share, we can't compare, |
So
much joy from just a hunk of what! |
Thaaaaaaa........t
is why we hide it early on from everyone |
A
custom that we get, from Kosher chefs, |
to
convince us eating Matzah's fun. |

|
On a
shelf or hidden away |
Floor
or sofa, 'neath Uncle Sid's toupee. |
It's
too much work, to search for your dessert |
Yes,
I'm looking for Afikoman |
Afikoman,
oy, vey, gevalt.....let's check the couch!!AFIKOMAN!!! |
I don't know about you, but I don't really
remember any Uncle Sid or his toupee. There's no stopping Jan now. Given your
overwhelming response, here is another song, which is not nearly as good as that Chanukah
favorite "Ill Be Home for Brisket", but you get the idea. This one is
called "BRISKET MELODY" and is sung to the tune of "Windy".
 |
BRISKET MELODY (SUNG TO "WINDY") |

|
|
What do we serve
on every occasion? What will eat this Passover night? |
|
What kind of beef
just spells "celebration"? Everyone knows its brisket. |
|
Chorus: And
Brisket is quick to make, just wrap it in foil and bake |
|
Make extra for
goodness sake. It freezes well, it freezes well. |
|
What makes a
vegetarian think twice? What cut of beef do cows want to be? |
|
What really was
that manna from Heaven? Everyone knows it's Brisket. |
