God showed no mercy
And sent down ten plagues
Pharaoh’s heart would stay hardened
Until all ten had been played
Then he relented
Told the Jews they could go
So they fled through the desert
Had no time to make good dough

They started their fires
Put the bread to the heat
It came out flat, like a rye cracker
‘Cause it turns out they left out the yeast
Hey! This dough’s unleavened, unleavened, unleavened
Hey! This dough’s unleavened, unleavened, unleavened

Now, fresh from Egypt
No longer slaves
The lord said don’t forget
It’s your freedom that I gave
Praise Passover
For all the days of thy life
Don’t make me wrathful
(You know what I did to Lot’s wife)

On the Fifteenth of Nisan
Don’t eat no croissants
You get some flat bread, and matzo balls
And you can eat all that you want
Buu-ut, make the dough unleavened, unleavened, unleavened
Make the dough unleavened, unleavened, unleavened
Make the dough unleavened, unleavened, unleavened

--break—

Jews now are modern
But they make sure none forgets
With a flurry of cleaning
Rid the house of Chametz
But some folks think it’s wasteful, yes
To throw out the bread
And the cakes and the yeast
And the liquor made from wheat
So they learned what to do instead
Sell the dough that’s leavened, leavened, leavened
Sell the dough that’s leavened, leavened, leavened
They sell dough that’s leavened, leavened, leavened
They sell dough that’s leavened, leavened, leavened
