Oh Papa! The Pesach Song (2020)

Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy Passover. This song was made for our 96-year-old grandpa (Papa) by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren across the globe.

VERSE 1
There's a little virus
That we, don’t want inside us
So Pesach’s gonna be, a bit different this year.
If you've got the internet,
Matza, marror, then don’t sweat,
We’ve got a solution for seder, don’t fear!

CHORUS
Oh pa-pa! Oh pa-pa!
Seders on Zoom
Oh pa-pa! Oh papa!
Multiple rooms
We’ll be on webcam, there’s no doom and gloom
When we sing, oh pa-pa!!

VERSE 2
Usually you tell us
That once we’ve had the karpas,
We mustn’t leave the house, well there’s no choice this year!
Manishtana will be
Sung beautifully, virtually,
By the youngest members of our family.

CHORUS

VERSE 3
How does this night differ?
Four glasses full of liquor
The seder might be slicker with us all on mute.
Hide the afikoman
And give us all a show, man,
We’ll be singing along with you for diaynu.

CHORUS

VERSE 4
This year won’t be forgotten
The world's feeling quite rotten
Our exodus from lockdown will be a great day.
We’ll remember Moses
(Try not to get neurosis)
Frogs, wild beasts and locusts, now Covid-19?!

CHORUS

VERSE 5
Will Elijah visit?
Or will Covid prohibit?
We’ll still try to elicit him at our front doors.
Shuls are closed, no service
In order to preserve us
But we’ll keep up our spirits by singing this song.

CHORUS
