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 Chorus
