A spoonful of charoses
A Spoon of Charoses
to the tune of “A Spoonful of Sugar” from Mary Poppins
At every seder every year,
There is an element of fear
When I must eat a bitter herb.
And in the moment that I dread,
The heat goes to my head,
I cough! I sneeze!
I whimper and I wheeze! But...
(Chorus)
A spoon of charoses helps the bitter herb go down, The bitter herb go down, bitter herb go down,
Yes, a spoon of charoses helps the bitter herb go down
In the most delightful way.
So you should keep it in your mind,
If there’s a moment when you find
There’s something dreadful you must do.
It will be better if you add
A thing that’s not so bad,
A song! A sweet!
A favorite toy or treat!
Cause...
(Repeat chorus)
