Chad gadya, chad gadya
Dizabin aba bitrei zuzei,
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Chad gadya, chad gadya
An only kid! An only kid!
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Then came the cat and ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Then came the dog and bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Then came the stick and beat the dog
That bit the cat that ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Then came the fire and burned the stick
That beat the dog that bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Then came the water and quenched the fire
That burned the stick that beat the dog
That bit the cat that ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Then came the ox and drank the water
That quenched the fire that burned the stick
That beat the dog that bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Then came the butcher and killed the ox
Then came the ox and drank the water
That quenched the fire that burned the stick
That beat the dog that bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Then came the angel of death and slew the butcher
Then came the butcher and killed the ox
Then came the ox and drank the water
That quenched the fire that burned the stick
That beat the dog that bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Then came the Holy One, blessed be He!
And destroyed the angel of death
Then came the angel of death and slew the butcher
Then came the butcher and killed the ox
Then came the ox and drank the water
That quenched the fire that burned the stick
That beat the dog that bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya, chad gadya

Why make an account?

Because why use any of your precious brain cells to remember where you kept those great readings that you’ll use someday at Jeffrey’s B Mitzvah? Make an account, keep the readings there. Easy peasy. The only thing you’ll need to remember is your password, and from personal experience that’s hard enough.
