Don't Sit On the Afikomen

Tune: Glory, Glory, Hallelu-kah


My Dad at every Seder breaks a Matza piece in two
And hides the Afikomen half - A game for me and you
Find it, bold it ransom for the Seder isn't through
'till the Afikomen's gone.

Chorus
Don't sit on the Afikomen.
Don't sit on the Afikomen.
Don't sit on the Afikomen.
Or the Meal will last all night

One year Daddy hid it 'neath a pillow on a chair
But just as I raced over, my Aunt Sophie sat down there
She threw herself upon it - Awful crunching filled the air
And crumbs flew all around

Chorus

There were matza crumbs all over-Oh, it was a messy sight
We swept up all the pieces though it took us half the night
So, if you want your seder ending sooner than dawn's light,
Don't sit on the Afiko-o-men

Chorus
