Pharoah Got Run Over By the Red Sea
By Gary Teblum
(sung to the tune of “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”)


Pharoah got run over by the Red Sea.
Chasing Israelites who tried to leave.
Some might say there’s no such thing as Ha Shem
But as for Jewish people, we believe.

He'd been telling Moses daily
That he would not let them go. 
But the last plague was the last straw, 
So he sent them out the door, told them to go.

When he woke up the next mornin', 
Saw they left and did not pack. 
So he sent his men and horses, 
And instructing them to chase and get them back.

Pharoah got run over by the Red Sea.
Chasing Israelites who tried to leave.
Some might say there’s no such thing as Ha Shem
But as for Jewish people, we believe.

Up until they reached the Red Sea, 
They’d been takin' this so well. 
But they all then turned to Moses, 
Asking Moses what to do now, please do tell.

Moses raised his staff with wonders. 
All the water was pushed back. 
And the people traveled forward: 
With Egyptians right behind them on their track.

Pharoah got run over by the Red Sea.
Chasing Israelites who tried to leave.
Some might say there’s no such thing as Ha Shem
But as for Jewish people, we believe.

Once the Jews were through the Red Sea 
Moses lowered down his stick. 
And the waters all receded, 
Drowning each of Pharoah’s armies mighty quick. 

I've told relatives, friends and neighbors. 
What a miracle he did
Now you know we must remember, 
And retell this wondrous tale to every kid. 

Pharoah got run over by the Red Sea.
Chasing Israelites who tried to leave.
Some might say there’s no such thing as Ha Shem
But as for Jewish people, we believe.
