SEDER-MASOCHISTIC lyrics:
I really love this time of year
Comes around in Springtime in this hemisphere
It always gives me the strangest wish:
To rub my naked body with gefilte fish
Cos I'm Seder-masochistic, alright
Is there one more Seder I can go to tonight?
Yes, I'm Seder-masochistic, ok
Don't think I'm a weirdo, don't put me away, hey
I have some friends also so inclined
Snorting bitter herbs helps them to unwind
We like to go on Seder crawls
Then head home and whip up more matzah balls
Cos I'm Seder-masochistic, alright
Is there one more Seder I can go to tonight
Yes, I'm Seder-masochistic, ok
Don't think I'm a weirdo, don't put me away, hey
I read every line
of the Haggadah
Til I go Meshuggenah
Hebrew sweet
Like Rugelah
Seders make my dough rise
Cos I'm Seder-masochistic, alright
Tried to see a shrink but there's no point in fighting
I'm Seder-masochistic, ok
Chain me to the table, I won't run away
Cos I'm Seder-masochistic, you know
The longer is the better, cos I like them slow
Yes, I'm Seder-masochistic, at heart
Matzah and charoset make my waters part.
It's true, I'm a bad bad Jew.
