An Old Song Done Up New
Each year Passover gives new meaning to
A fine old song that's done up new
That old story of Pharaoh and Moses ~
Now called 'The Days of Wine and Charoses'
Note: The first two nights of Passover
four cups of wine are drunk...
The 'charoses' are a mixture of
shredded apple, ground walnuts,
cinnamon, and a taste of wine,
all of which remind us of the bricks
Jews (as slaves) made with back-
breaking labor in Egypt.
