Prompt: Will you write me a song about Karpas?

Chat GPT: Sure, here's my attempt at a Karpas song!

The song can be sung to a variety of tunes, but I had a simple and upbeat melody in mind when writing it. If you're familiar with the tune of "Bingo" or "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain," those could work well with the rhythm and meter of the lyrics. But feel free to sing it to any tune that you think fits the mood and message of the song!

(Verse 1)

Oh Karpas, Karpas, on the Seder plate

A simple green, a symbol so great

We dip you in salt water and take a bite

And remember our ancestors' bitter plight

(Chorus)

Karpas, Karpas, we taste your greens

And recall the bitter times and what they mean

But with joy in our hearts, we celebrate

Our freedom and the hope that we create

(Verse 2)

Oh Karpas, Karpas, you represent

The springtime that brings new life, so heaven-sent

As we dip you in the water, we recall

The tears our ancestors shed, and how they'd fall

(Chorus)

Karpas, Karpas, we taste your greens

And recall the bitter times and what they mean

But with joy in our hearts, we celebrate

Our freedom and the hope that we create

(Bridge)

As we gather with our loved ones here

We honor our past and hold our future dear

With Karpas on the plate and in our hearts

We bless the journey that we've had thus far

(Chorus)

Karpas, Karpas, we taste your greens

And recall the bitter times and what they mean

But with joy in our hearts, we celebrate

Our freedom and the hope that we create.
