Chad Gadya

Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya

Then came the cat 
that ate the kid
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya

Then came the dog 
that bit the cat
that ate the kid
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya

Then came the stick
that beat the dog
that bit the cat
that are the kid
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya

Then came the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog
that bit the cat
that ate the kid
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya

Then came the water
that quenched the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog
that bit the cat
that ate the kid
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya

Then came the ox
that drank the water
that quenched the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog
that bit the cat
that ate the kid
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya

Then came the butcher
who killed the ox
that drank the water
that quenched the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog
that bit the cat
that ate the kid
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya

Then came the Angel of the Death
who slew the butcher
who killed the ox
that drank the water
that quenched the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog
that bit the cat
that ate the kid
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya

Then came the Holy One who is blessed
who destroyed the Angel of Death
who slew the butcher
who killed the ox
that drank the water
that quenched the fire
that burned the stick
that beat the dog
that bit the cat
that ate the kid
An only kid, a single kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad Gadya, Chad Gadya
