Passover Lyrics > Make Me A Song

At Aunty Honey’s and Uncle Harvey’s in New Jersey
My sister would hold her breath
Over the George Washington bridge
And we would laugh at her, she’d frown
Everyone, including Nana Ida would be standing by the front door
As pulled up and we’d count down
Four, three, two, one!
And we’d fight to be the first out of the car
Having come this far
Having come so far for this feast
This feast of new yeast
And the matzo balls are so hard when you cut them they just fly
Why?
Passover
On this day
We read of plagues and misfortunes then start eating
Uncle Harvey’s the cook
Ma laughed so loud that she shook
Cousin Gary is reading porn
We’ve run out of skull
caps some men are wearing
Acapulco Beach Club bandanas that really, really, really should not be worn
We are Jews from like the first 5,000 years
Laughing through our tears
Joyous, vulgar, anything goes
But we wear nice clothes
That’s the way I like remembering this scene: manic and high
Why?
Passover In the Passover prayer book We read about what Pharaoh MORE?
