Abie Rotenberg - The Pesach Blues lyrics

Don't you love the holiday of Purim What a great time for kids and men But I just happen to be a woman And it's that time of year again When every bone in my body starts shakin' And I'm breakin' out in cold cold sweat All my muscles are tired and achin' And I haven't started cleaning yet I've got the here comes Pesach blues A Jewish woman's gotta pay her dues But my heart keeps pounding and my brain feels numb Thinking about those tiny crumbs I got the here comes Pesach blues I'll have to vacuum out each and every pocket I use a flashlight to check down the drain Toothpicks are great for cleaning sockets My cleanin' lady thinks I'm insane And when I'm finally done with all the bedrooms And I lay down for a five minute break My three year old just home from school will run through the house chewing on some chocolate cake I got the here comes Pesach blues A Jewish woman's gotta pay her dues But my heart gets pounding and my brain feels numb Thinking about those tiny crumbs I got the here comes Pesach blues I'd like to lay down my mop and rest my back - but we can't afford the h*mowack I've got the here comes Pesach blues I haven't even mentioned all the cookin' There's really not too much to discuss "More potatoes?" everyone will be complaining It's not my fault we don't eat gabrukts There's one more thing that's really quite confusin' And an answer to this questions remains Can someone tell me why the same things we buy all through the year Are Pesach time are triple the price? Now the purpose of this song is not to question Why this mitzvah was given to me The reward will be beyond my comprehension And I'll do it, till mashiach sets me free All I'm asking is for some cooperation That my husband and our children lend a hand And If I'm a bit too quick to show frustration Perhaps this song will help them understand I've got the here come Pesach blues A Jewish woman's gotta pay her dues But my heart gets pounding and my brain feels numb Thinking about those tiny crumbs I got the here comes Pesach blues Oy, I got the here comes Pesach blues
