CHAD GADYOH<br />

[to the tune <strong>of</strong> “This old man”]<br />

A Kid just one, which by his whim,<br />

My father bought for two Zuzim,<br />

This song tells what became <strong>of</strong> him,<br />

CHAD GADYOH CHAD GADYOH.<br />

Alas a cat ate up the kid,<br />

He ate him up, he did he did,<br />

But then a dog ate up the cat,<br />

Kid, cat and dog just fancy that.<br />

Said stick to dog,<br />

You must be beaten,<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> cat whom you have eaten,<br />

Then fire came and burned the stick,<br />

To beat a dog is a sorry trick.<br />

Fire is burned, but fire is through,<br />

For water said - "now out with you,<br />

Water water you too will stop,<br />

For Ox must drink you every drop."<br />

Alas alas, where is the Ox<br />

His meat is in the butcher's shop,<br />

Weep now for butcher cold and numb,<br />

Death's angel whispered - "time to come."<br />

HASHEM now speaks - "Angel depart,"<br />

So sing again with joyful heart,<br />

An only Kid an only Kid,<br />

CHAD GADYOH CHAD GADYOH.<br />
