Oh, what’s on that good ol’ Seder plate?
Sit ‘round and I’ll give it to you straight
With a tune and some verse
That for better or worse
Will explain the good ol’ Seder plate.
Some herbs are bitter, you bet, Like maror and chazeret.
They really do not taste great.
But don’t be a quitter Recall that slavery was bitter
So these herbs are on the Seder plate.
The slaves by the Nile Used mortar by the pile
To build Pharaoh’s real estate.
In remembrance of such We use just a touch
Of charoset on the Seder plate.
In the old times they did Take a lamb or a kid
And sacrifice it on a slate
But we don’t all eat meat So we’re using a beet
As the z’roa on the Seder plate.

Sit ‘round and I’ll give it to you straight
With a tune and some verse
That for better or worse
Will explain the good ol’ Seder plate.
It was a terrible cost When our temple was lost
And our rituals had to wait.
So please listen, I beg, And don’t eat the egg!
Leave the beitzah on the Seder plate.
We should answer the call To respect one and all
And never discriminate.
So we choose to in-clute A small piece of fruit
There's an orange on the Seder plate.
Oh, what’s on the good ol’ Seder plate?
Sit ‘round and I’ll give it to you straight
With a tune and some verse
That for better or worse
Will explain the good ol’ Seder plate.
So that is our good ol’ Seder plate
And that’s all I have to relate.
You’re all very dear
And I’ll see you next year
In Jerusalem 'round our Seder plate.
