about

A same sex, interfaith couple are invited to their conservative in-laws for Passover dinner. Oy Vey!

lyrics

2. PASSOVER

That was the last exit in Brooklyn
Oh no here we are in Staten Island
Your road rage is to be reckoned with
I don’t understand British GPS

Turn right there, turn right here
You're such a stupid putz my dear
Last year we ended up in Bayonne
Not so jersey fresh

Why didn't we take the train
We need a getaway plan
For when your family gets all cray-cray
And insane

CHORUS
Telling us all we're going to hell
No amount of Manischewitz can dispel
My holiday cheer I fear
Another Passover with the in-laws

Remember Uncle Morty
Throwing the shank bone at me
He said my gay agenda
Would get me dismembered

Aunt Ethel said I wasn't Jewish enough
My Buddism bullhockey in the rough
When I asked her to pass the charoset
She just growled at me

Couldn't we make other plans
A trip to the moon - a tour of Afghanistan
When your family says
We're not American enough

CHORUS

We made a wrong turn
Why are we in New London
Well nothing’s better than
Suburban Connecticut

We can say Elijah came
Early this year
Though I fear the wrath
Of the in-laws

CHORUS
