Passover – Parodies

We asked for parodies of songs written about the Passover story. You will find one on Page 12 of the Haggadah written to “My Darling Clementine.” Below are two new ones submitted by Amy Bass. Also check out https://www.haggadot.com/blog/our-favorite-passover-song-parodies.

 

Take Me Out to the Seder
(Take Me Out to the Ballgame)
By Amy Bass

Don’t take me out for a seder,
We have to avoid any crowds.
Send us some matzah and honey cake
Can we all agree now that Covid ain’ fake?
So we all are the staying at home team
If we don’t stay in it’s a shame!
For there’s eight, nine, ten plagues you’re out
At the Passover game.

 

Don’t Sit So Close To Me
(Don’t Stand So Close To Me by The Police)
By Amy “Sting” Bass

Young Jacob, his children
They prospered wonderfully
Living in, pretty Goshen
Joseph takes care of thee
But when Joe, passes on
A new king goes and turns the page
He does not like, the Children of Israel
HE GOES ON A RAMPAGE

Don’t sit, Don’t sit so, Don’t sit so close to me
Don’t sit, Don’t sit so, Don’t sit so close to me

The Pharaoh is so jealous
You know how bad kings get
Sometimes it’s not so easy
To be God’s pet
Temptation, frustration
As the Jews multiply
Get Puah, and Shifra
It’s time for Jewish sons to die

Don’t sit, don’t sit so, don’t sit so close to me
Don’t sit, don’t sit so, don’t sit so close to me

Loose talk in the river
Miriam heard a baby’s cry
She names him, young Moses
“I’ll save the Jews, I’ve got to try”
Ten Plagues come
The Jews flee
After flipping Pharaoh off
The make their matzoh party
Oh no, did Uncle Harry just cough?????

Don’t sit, don’t sit, don’t sit so close to me
Don’t sit, don’t sit, don’t sit so close to me

Please don’t sit so near to me….
Please don’t sit so near to me (six feet)
Please don’t so near to me (six feet)
