The Pesach Blues

Abie Rotenberg

Capo 3
G
Don’t you love the holiday of Purim
       C
What a great time for kids and men
    F
But I just happen to be a woman
          D                  G
And it’s that time of year again
           G
When every bone in my body starts shakin’
           C
And I’m breaking out in cold cold sweat
        F
All my muscles are tired and achin’
       D                        G
And I haven’t started cleanin’ yet

              C
I’ve got the here comes Pesach blues
          G
A Jewish woman’s gotta pay the dues
        B7
But my heart keeps poundin’
       B7
And my brain feels numb
D                           G
Thinkin’ about those tiny crumbs
              Bb                G
I’ve got the here comes Pesach blues
              Bb                 G
I’ve got the here comes Pesach blues

              G
I’ll have to vacuum out each and every pocket
          C
I use a flashlight to check down the drain
F
Toothpicks are good for cleanin’ sockets
     D                         G
My cleaning lady thinks I’m insane
              G
And when I’m finally done with all the bedrooms
          C
And I’ve laid down for a five minute break
     F
My three year old just home from school
      F
Will run through the house
  D                        G
Chewin’ on some chocolate cake

              C
I’ve got the here comes Pesach blues
          G
A Jewish woman’s gotta pay the dues
             B7
I’d like to lay down my mop and rest my back
     D                       G
But we can’t afford the Homowack
              Bb                 G
I’ve got the here comes Pesach blues
              Bb                 G
I’ve got the here comes Pesach blues

   G
I haven’t even mentioned all the cooking
         C
There’s really not too much to discuss
      F
More potatoes? Everyone will be complaining
         D                          G
It’s not my fault, we don’t eat gebrukts
            G
And there’s one more thing that’s really quite confusing
        C
And an answer to this question would be nice
             F
Can someone tell me why the same things we buy all through the year
    D                           G
At Pesach time are tripled in price


Chorus/Interlude
         G
Now the purpose of this song is not to question
          C
Why this mitzvah was given to me
       F
The reward will be beyond my comprehension
          D                            G
And I’ll do it ‘til Mashiach sets me free
         G
All I’m asking is for some cooperation
        C
That my husband and our children lend a hand
   F
If I’m a bit too quick to show frustration
      D                                      G
Then perhaps this song will help them understand
