Eser Makkot (The Ten Plagues)
(Sung to the tune of “Michelle”)
(by Gary Teblum)

Es-ser Makkot
these are plagues of which we must take note
Eser Makkot

Es-ser Makkot
Blood and frogs and lice and cattle disease
Cattle disease 

Please free them, please free them, please free them 
that's what God tried to say 
But Pharoah wouldn’t sway 
It was not until that tenth plague came that he’d
understand

Es-ser Makkot 
Locusts, hail and darkness o’er the land
Over the land 

God needs to, God needs to, God needs to 
God needs to make Pharoah see 
Oh, what might come to be 
Until we jews give him the blues, Pharoah, he’ll be mean

We hate you 

Please free them, please free them, please them
You should know by now 
You’ll let them go some how 
Until you do new plagues will brew so you’ll understand 

Es-ser Makkot
Blood and frogs and lice and first borns did die
First borns did die 

And you will say the only words we want for you to
understand 
Go from my land.
