She asked the 4 questions
Cause she's the youngest at the Seder
We dipped the "karpas"
And we used an old "potater"
Now here's the key
To why we're sitting here, you and me
There must be 50 ways to leave Mitzrayim
50 ways to leave Mitzrayim
CHORUS
We're takin your bus, Gus
We got the plan, Stan
Pity you're a "goi", Roy
Just listen to me
Retire and open up a distillery, Hillary
(high) Stay in your pajamas, Obamas
You ain't comin with us
Take a one-way trip to Flanders, Bernie Sanders
Keep away from our sons and daughters, Roger Waters
Fly to the "Triangle" in the Bahamas, Hamas
You're a real mess, BDS
***
She asked me -- why's this night all different from the rest
I said -- cause mean ol Pharoah failed each and every test
She said -- so what's that all got to do with me?
The answers real easy
We Jews wanted to be free
There must be 50 ways to leave Mitzrayim
50 ways to leave Mitzrayim
CHORUS
We drink 4 cups of "yayin", Bryan
Egypt we were aleavin, Steven
The Red Sea was apartin, Martin
We lean on our left side, Clyde
Roast up a lamb, Pam
(high) Moses was our teacher, Laquishe
Only the Sephardis eat the awesome food, dude
Jump on your horse, Ross
Fire up the GPS, Jess
Peddle that bike, Mike
Saddle up your mule, Raul
Gas up the car, Smadar
(high) The Land of Canaan is pretty far
Later, some "mahn" we'll put in a jar
***
She said the story's all in the Haggadah, I see
We're singing about some people
Could even be you and me
And I smiled and I knew she probably was right
There must be 50 ways to leave Mitzrayim
50 ways to leave Mitzrayim
CHORUS
This ain't no commercial, Herschel
The "karban" Pesach is "fleishik", Soloveichik
We're off to get the Torah, Leora
Tonight we eat no spaghetti, Freddie
Make sure the matza's kosher, Moshe
(high) Shmear some blood around the door, Lenore
Ain't no more plagues, Craig
***
She asked me -- when you finally done with this crazy song?
My heads really spinning, so I hope it won't be very long
And I said -- you're right
But be happy we're in Israel, cause it's only for one night
There must be 50 ways to leave Mitzrayim
50 ways to leave Mitzrayim
Grab Joseph's bones, Jones
Borrow lots of stuff before you leave, Steve
And get yourself free
That's how we got ourselves freeeeee…
