While you're cleaning, here's a little tune to be sung to the tune of *These are a few of my Favorite Things: Author Unknown Cleaning and cooking and so many dishes Out with the hametz,* no pasta, no knishes Fish that's gefillted, horseradish that stings These are a few of our Passover things. Matzoh and karpas and chopped up haroset Shankbones and kiddish and yiddish neuroses Tante who kvetches and uncle who sings These are a few of our Passover things. Motzi and maror and trouble with Pharoahs Famines and locusts and slaves with wheelbarrows Matzoh balls floating and eggshells that cling These are a few of our Passover things. When the plagues strike When the lice bite When we're feeling sad We simply remember our Passover things And then we don't feel so bad. Happy Passover!
