new words: Dovid Kerner

Goodbye Paroh, we’ve got to go and leave Mitzrayim

We’d had enough of your bad stuff there’s no denyin’

You’ve had your chance but soon we’ll dance and you’ll be cry’in

On eagles’ wings, soon we will sing, leaving Mitzrayim.            

 

Free at last, what a blast, we’ll get the Torah

Right past the waves, our path is paved, we’re walking ova’

We’ve lived as slaves, but now we’re saved, and like we told ya’

On Har Sinai, oh me oh my, we’ll get the Torah.

 

It’s seder night, stars shining bright, we’re at the table

We tell our story, in all its glory, no it’s not just some fable

And we’re still up, past the forth cup, ‘cept baby Laibel

He fell asleep, right by my feet, under the table!

 

Free at last, what a blast, we’ll get the Torah

Right past the waves, our path is paved, we’re walking ova’

We’ve lived as slaves, but now we’re saved, and like we told ya’

On Har Sinai, oh me oh my, we’ll get the Torah.
