Oh, back in Egypt long ago, the Jews were slaves under Pharaoh.
They sweated and toiled and labored through the day,
So when we gather pesach night, we do what we think right,
maror, we chew, to feel what they went through.
Just a tad of charoset helps the bitter herbs go down,
the bitter herbs go down; the bitter herbs go down.
Just a tad of charoset helps the bitter herbs go down,
in the most disguising way.
So after years of slavery, they saw no chance of being free,
their suffering was the only life they know, but baby Moses grew up tall,
and said he’d save them all, he did, and yet, we swear we won’t forget that…
Just a tad of charoset helps the bitter herbs go down,
the bitter herbs go down; the bitter herbs go down.
Just a tad of charoset helps the bitter herbs go down,
in the most disguising way.
While the maror is being passed, we all refill our water glass,
preparing for the taste that turns us red, although maror seems full of minuses,
it sure does clear our sinuses, but, what’s to do? It’s hard to be a Jew!
Just a tad of charoset helps the bitter herbs go down,
the bitter herbs go down; the bitter herbs go down.
Just a tad of charoset helps the bitter herbs go down,
in the most disguising way.
