Seder Night Fever

PHAROAH:
At first I was afraid
That I'd be mummified...
Kept thinking I could never live
With Hebrews by my side...
But then I spent so many nights
Thinking how to make them slaves,
And I grew strong,
And learned that I could not be wrong
But now you're back!
You're in my space!
You just walked in to find me here,
And I've got boils on my face!
I should have changed that stupid law,
I should have taken all your straw...
If I'd have known for just one second
Just how much you'd shock-and-awe!
Go on now go!
Walk out the door!
Just turn around now,
Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who tried to
Break me with the plagues?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Yeah, well, take it to the Hague!
MOSES:
Let's not be vague...
We're not afraid!
Oh, as long as we know who we are,
We know we've got it made!
We've got all our lives to live !
We've got all our love to give!
It's time to wade !
It's time to wade!
Hey, hey...
It took all the faith we had
To make the Red Sea part...
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of our broken hearts,
And we spent oh-so-many nights
Just feeling sorry for ourselves..
We used to cry,
But now we hold our heads up high!
Now you see us,
So catch a clue:
We're not that chained up little Hebrew
Still enslaved by you!
And then you thought you'd change your mind,
And just expect us to agree,
But now we're saving all our loving
For ourselves because we're free!
PHAROAH:
Go on now, go!
Walk out the door!
Just turn around now,
Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with the frogs?
Did you think I'd crumble
And be scared of polliwogs?
MOSES:
Call off the dogs!
We'll dialogue!
Oh, as long as we can find
Our way back to the synagogue...
We've got all our lives to live!
We've got all our love to give!
It's time to jog!
It's time to jog!
Oh-h-h...
PHAROAH:
Go on now, go!
Walk out the door!
Just turn around now,
Cause you're not welcome anymore...
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with the lice?
Did you think I'd crumble,
Just because you can't be nice?
MOSES:
Oh no, no dice!
Let's be precise..
Oh, as long as we behave ourselves,
We'll get to paradise!
We've got all our lives to live!
We've got all our love to give!
So just be nice...
So just be nice...
So just be nice...
