I hope you enjoy these original Passover songs. I wrote these songs for children, parents and teachers to use when they celebrate and learn about the holiday of Passover. Hag Sameach, Sylvia
Passover
Afikomen, Where Are You? (Old MacDonald Had a Farm)
Afikomen, where are you?
I would like to know.
Are you in the dining room?
I would like to know.
With a look-look here,
And a look-look there,
Here a look, there a look,
Everywhere a look-look.
Afikomen, where are you?
I would like to know.
In Egypt Long Ago (The Wheels on the Bus)
The Jews were slaves in the land of Egypt, land of Egypt, land of Egypt.
The Jews were slaves in the land of Egypt many years ago.
Pharaoh made them work so hard, work so hard, work so hard.
Pharaoh made them work so hard many years ago.
Moses told him, “Let us go, let us go, let us go.”
Moses told him, “Let us go,” many years ago.
Pharaoh answered, “No I won’t, no I won’t, no I won’t.”

God sent plagues that numbered ten, numbered ten, numbered ten.

Baby Moses (Yankee Doodle)
Joheved was a Jewish mom,
In Egypt long ago.
She had a little baby boy,
And she loved him so.
Chorus:
Baby Moses don’t you cry,
For some day you’ll see,
God chose you to be the one,
To set his people free
She placed him in a basket boat,
And put him in the water.
He went floating down the Nile,
And was found by Pharaoh’s daughter.
Chorus:
Baby Moses don’t you cry,
For some day you’ll see,
God chose you to be the one,
To set his people free.
Pharaoh’s daughter held the baby,
He was all alone.
She took him home to live with her,
And raised him as her own.
Chorus:
Baby Moses don’t you cry,
For some day you’ll see,
God chose you to be the one,
To set his people free.
Three Green Frogs (Three Blind Mice)
Three green frogs, three green frogs,
See how they jump, see how they jump.
They all hopped after the Pharaoh one day,
He said, “I’m not in the mood to play.
Won’t you please just go away?”
Three green frogs, three green frogs.
