Lyrics

Let’s Eat!

Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff

You got your hamentaschen, a little sarsaparilla
I won’t keep you long, won’t read the whole Magilla
How Haman tried, to have his evil way
But Mordecai and Esther saved the day

CHORUS:

If we don’t learn from history, it’s only gonna repeat
They tried to kill us, but we won, so let’s ea
They tried to kill us, but we won, so let’s eat


Now we’re eating matzo, we’re drinking kosher wine
We’re celebrating freedom; everybody’s feeling fine
But we should remember, how close it could have been
If the Red Sea hadn’t swallowed Pharaoh’s men

Repeat Chorus

There’s nothing like a latke, with a little sour cream
Oh and chocolate money, is every schoolchild’s dream
But the desecration of a temple, is what it’s really all about
And how the Lord just wouldn’t let that light burn out

Repeat Chorus
