The Four Sons Tune – “Oh, my darling Clementine” 1. Said the father to his children At the Seder you will dine You will eat your fill of matzo You will drink four cups of wine 2. Now this father had no daughters But his sons, they numbered four, One was wise and one was wicked One was simple and a bore. 3. And the fourth one was sweet and winsome He was young and he was small. Whilst his brothers asked the questions, He could scarcely speak at all. 4. Said the wise son to his father, “Would you please explain the laws All the customs of the Seder Will you please explain their cause.” 5. And the father proudly answered As our fathers ate in speed At the Paschal Lamb ‘ere midnight And from slavery they were freed. 6. So we follow their example And ‘ere midnight must complete All the sederand we should not After twelve remain to eat 7. Then did sneer, the son so wicked “What does all this mean to YOU” And father's voice grew bitter And his grief and anger grew. 8. If yourself you don't consider, As a son of Yisrael, Then for you this has no meaning You could be a slave as well. 9. Then the simple son said simply “What is this” and quietly The good father told this child “We were freed from slavery.” 10. But the youngest son was silent For he could not ask at all. His bright eyes were big with wonder As his father told him all. 11. Now dear children heed this lesson And remember evermore What the father told his children told his sons that numbered four.

Those Canaan Days Do you remember the good years in Canaan The summers were endlessly gold The fields were a patchwork of clover The winters were never too cold We'd stroll down the boulevards together And everything round us was fine Now the fields are dead and bare No joie de vivre anywhere Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine Those Canaan days we used to know Where have they gone, where did they go Eh bien, raise your berets To those Canaan days Do you remember those wonderful parties The splendour of Canaan's cuisine Our extravagant, elegant soirees The gayest the Bible has seen It's funny but since we lost Joseph We've gone to the other extreme No-one comes to dinner now Let My People Go (Go Down Moses) When Israel was in Egypt's land, Let my people go! Oppressed so hard they could not stand, Let my people go! Go down Moses, way down in Egypt's land; Tell old Pharaoh, "Let my people go!" "Thus saith the Lord," bold Moses said, "Let my people go! If not, I'll smite your first-born dead, Let my people go!" Go down Moses, way down in Egypt's land; Tell old Pharaoh, "Let my people go!" The Lord told Moses what to do, Let my people go! To lead the children of Israel thro', Let my people go! Go down Moses, way down in Egypt's land; We only eat them anyhow I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams Those Canaan days we used to know Where have they gone, where did they go Eh bien, raise your berets To those Canaan days It's funny but since we lost Joseph We've gone to the other extreme Perhaps we all misjudged the lad Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad And how we miss his entertaining dreams Those Canaan days we used to know Where have they gone, where did they go Eh bien, raise your berets To those Canaan days Eh bien, raise your berets To those Canaan days Tell old Pharaoh, "Let my people go!" When they had reached the other shore, Let my people go! They sang the song of triumph o’er, Let my people go! Go down Moses, way down in Egypt land; Tell old Pharaoh, "Let my people go!" The Frog Song One morning when pharoah awoke in his bed There were frogs in his bed and frogs on his head Frogs on his nose and frogs on his toes Frogs here Frogs there Frogs were jumping everywhere.
