Pharaoh

 to the tune of Adele’s “Hello”

Pharaoh, it’s me.

I was wondering if after all these

plagues, you’d set us free

To cross over, the Red Sea.

You’ve said that you’d decide to free us,

But you’ve done no freeing.

Pharaoh, can you hear me?

I’m in Egypt building pyramids with

the Jews in slavery

Who live in bondage, not free.

I have given you nine chances, this

is how it’s got to be.

There’s so much history, between us

Here in Mitzrayim.

Pharaoh won’t you let us go?

There’s one more plague I hate to show.

I’ll tell you, the worst one is still yet to come,

Our Adonai has promised to slay

your first son.

Pharaoh you have forced our hand,

There’s only so much we can stand.

I’ll tell you this Pharaoh, there’s no time to lose,

You should know that this last

plague will pass o’er the Jews, that’s

for sure.

Pharaoh, we’re fleeing.

We’ve gone biblical and packed up

all our things in such a hurry.

No time to bake bread.

We will eat our dough unleavened,

forming Matzah sheets instead.

It’s no secret, that all the Jews

Are crossing the Red Sea.

So now we’re on the other side,

We’ve made it safely to Sinai,

I’ll tell you, we’re free now to sing

out G-d’s praise,

Shake our timbrels, eat matzah, and

dance out our days.

Hello from the other side,

Our inner strength won’t be denied.

I’ll tell you, we’ll seek out God’s

Promised Land

Share the story and greatness of

Adonai’s plan, evermore…
