Chad Gadya, meaning “one little goat” is a song originally in Yiddish that is traditionally sung on Passover.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

My father brought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came the cat that ate the goat

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came the dog that bit the cat

That ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came the stick that beat the dog

That bit the cat that ate the goat,

My father bought for two zuzim.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Then came the fire that burned the stick...

Then came the water that quenched the fire...

Then came the ox that drank the water...

Then came the butcher that killed the ox...

Then came the angel of death that slew the butcher...

Then came the Holy One who Smote the angel of death...
