Passover Song
(English)

One little goat*, one little goat
That my father bought for two coins**
One little goat, one little goat.

A cat came and ate the little goat
That my father bought for two coins,
One little goat one little goat

Then came a dog and bit
The cat that ate the little goat
That my father bought for two coins,
One little goat one little goat.

Then came a stick which beat the dog
That bit the cat, that ate the little goat
That my father bought for two coins,
One little goat, one little goat.

Then came a fire, that burnt the stick
That beat the dog, that bit
The cat that ate the little goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
One little goat, one little goat.

Then came some water that put out the fire
That burnt the stick, that beat the dog,
That bit the cat, that ate the little goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
One little goat, one little goat.

Then came an ox that drank the water, that put out
The fire, that burnt the stick, that beat the dog,
That bit the cat, that ate the little goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
One little goat, one little goat.

Then came a slaughterer*** that slaughtered the ox,
That drank the water, that put out the fire,
That burnt the stick, that beat the dog,
That bit the cat, that ate the little goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
One little goat, one little goat.

Then came the angel of death, that slaughtered the slaughterer,
That slaughtered the ox, that drank the water,
That put out the fire, that burnt the stick,
That beat the dog, that bit the cat,
That ate the little goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
One little goat, one little goat.

Then came the Holy One blessed be He,
And slaughtered the angel of death,
That slaughtered the slaughterer, that slaughtered the ox,
That drank the water, that put out the fire,
That burnt the stick, that beat the dog,
That bit the cat, that ate the little goat,
That my father bought for two coins,
One little goat, one little goat.

i had the sheer joy of being an alto soloist and sang with him at a seder

There was only one Moyshe Oysher

[BrishenAlston]

This reminds me of something... It reminds me of the twelve days of Christmas in that it's repetitive. When I realized this I couldn't quit laughing. If I ever convert at least I'll still have a couple of fun songs to entertain myself with.

@BrishenAlston There are American quasi-equivalents, like Benjamin Franklin's 'all for the want of a nail'. My brain's out right now on the lyrics, though. :)

No, it's a Komatz, "Aw" in standard ashkenazi pronounciation.

[donmoseslerman]

This is exactly how my Uncle Phil sang it at our l Seder back in the 1950's, ,it brings back many good memories!

[teacher7890]

Absolutely brilliant - there is no comparison !
