Chad Gadya

.

As each prase is chanted, we all sing: Chad-gad-yaaah, Chad gadya

1. An only kid, an only kid, my father bought for two zuzim

2. Then came the cat and ate the kid my father bought for two zuzim

3. Then came the dog and bit the cat, that ate the kid my father bought for two zuzim

4. Then came the stick that beat the dog, that bit the cat, that ate the kid my father bought for two zuzim

5. Then came the fire and burned the stick, that beat the dog, that bit the cat, that ate the kid my father bought for two zuzim

6. Then came the water and quenched the fire that burned the stick, that beat the dog, that bit the cat, that ate the kid my father bought for two zuzim

7. Then came the ox and drank the water that quenched the fire, that burned the stick, that beat the dog, that bit the cat, that ate the kid my father bought for two zuzim

8. Then came the butcher and 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 my father bought for two zuzim

9. Then came the angel of death and slew the butcher, that 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 my father bought for two zuzim

10. Then came the Holy One and destroyed the angel of death, that slew the butcher, that 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 my father bought for two zuzim!
