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.
