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
