A Few of My Favorite Things(Sung to the tune of "These are a few of my favorite things")Cleaning and cooking and so many dishes Out with the hametz, no pasta, no knishes Fish that's gefillted, horseradish that stings These are a few of our passover things.

"Friends In Low Places" -- parody!! Blame it all on my roots -I showed up in boots - And brought with me plagues of despair The last one to know - The last one to show - I was the last one You thought you'd see there And I saw the surprise - And the fear in your eyes - When I took up the staff to bring change And I said to you - Hey Pharoh, its time we're through...
