Ten Plagues, You’ll Cry

Lyrics modified by Patty Glatt, 2007
(sung to the tune “Big Girls Don't Cry” by Franki Valli and the Four Seasons)

 

Ten plagues, you’ll cry, tenth plague, you’ll die

Ten plagues, you’ll cry, [you’ll cry]

Ten plagues, you’ll cry, [who said you’ll cry]

My---God, said goodbye—oy my my

said to Mo, “you’re the guy---to his surprise

[Silly Goy]…told the Jews we had to pack up

[Silly Goy]…told pharaoh he’d call his bluff

[Silly Goy]…Mo told him “that’s enough!”

Ten plagues, you’ll cry

Ten plagues, you’ll cry, ---[you’’ll cry]

Tenth plague, you’ll die

[who said you’ll die]

Pharaoh/ denied he was cruel [he was cruel]

We showed him/ who’se the fool

[he such a fool]

[Pharaoh] shame on you Moses said

[Pharaoh] treat us bad/ your firstborn dead

[Pharaoh] shame on you, you told us lies

Ten plagues you’ll cry,

Ten plagues you’ll cry, you’ll cry

Tenth plaque you’ll die, that’s just an alibi,

Ten plagues you’ll cry ten plagues you’ll cry
