Egyptian Rhapsody

Haggadah Section: -- Exodus Story

EGYPTIAN RHAPSODY

(to the tune of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”)

 

Is this my real life?

Is this a fallacy?

Son of the pharaoh

But that’s not reality

 

Open your ears

And listen to my story

I’m just a Hebrew,

My people in slavery

 

‘cause it’s brick by brick

Toil and slave

Jewish people

I must save

 

Anyway the Nile flows,

Doesn’t really matter to me

To me…

 

Mama, just killed a man.

An Egyptian in the sand,

Struck him down with my own hands

 

Mama, what have I just done?

Oh now I’ll have to go and run away!

 

Mama! ooooooooo

A shepherd I’ve become

Hey, what’s that bush ahead that’s caught on fire?

Is it G-d? Is it G-d?

Hello, my name is Moses

 

“MOSES

YOU’RE TIME HAS COME

YOU’LL BE MY RIGHT HAND MAN

TAKE THE JEWS FROM EGYPT LAND”

 

Okay, my old buddy,

It’s you and me!
Gotta free our people from this tyranny!

 

Aaron! oooooooo

My brother by my side

Together we will lead our people homeward

 

(EPIC guitar solo of the Lord)

 

I see a pharaoh with a heart made out of a stone

OH THE JEWS, OH THE JEWS

Pharaoh will you let them-go?

THUNDERBOLTS AND LIGHTNING

PLAGUES THEY ARE ALL FRIGHTENING ME!

Blood and frogs

Lice and beasts

Sickly cattle,

Boils and cysts

Locusts, darkness in the land

and the firstborn….

 

I’m just a Pharaoh everybody loves me-

He’s just a Hebrew saving his family!

Sparing their lives from your monstrosity.

 

Please desist.

G-d is pissed.

Will you let them go?

 

MESHUGGAH NO! I will not let them go

(Let them go!) MESHUGGAH! I will not let them go.

(Let them go!) MESHUGGAH! I will not let them go.

 

Let them go / will not let them go! X3

 

GO NO GO NO GO NO GO –

 

OH MATZAH PIZZA MATZAH PIZZA!

MATZAH PIZZA LET THEM GO!

 

OUR G-D ABOVE

WILL DELIVER US FROM HERE YOU’LL SEE

YOU’LL SEE

YOU’LL SEE!

 

(GUITAR SHREDDING)

 

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN PLAGUE ME

FROM LAND AND FROM SKY??

SO YOU’VE TAKEN MY CHILD, MY FIRST BORN TO DIE!

OHHHHH MOSES!
CAN’T DO THIS TO ME MOSES!!

JUST GO AND GET OUT
JUST TAKE YOUR PEOPLE FROM HERE

 

(EPIC, face-melting, pharaoh guitar-shredding solo)

 

Come with me, my people,

G-d will part the sea

Follow me, me people,

Sing with me O Israel

 

We are free.

 

Anyway the Nile flows….
