Hop Meine Hamentaschen, traditional Yiddish song
Poor Yachne Dvoshe, the heroine of this old folk song, is not a great baker….listen to what her hamentaschen do!

lyrics

12. Hop Mein Hamentaschen, traditional song with new lyrics by Joanie Calem

Yachne Dvoshe’s all confused, gone to do her shopping. Buying everything she needs to make her Hamentaschen.
Chorus: (sing 2x)
Hop, meine Hamentaschen, Hop, meine weise, Hop mit meine Hamentaschen, Hut Pasirt a meise.

Rain is falling, snow is dropping, all the roofs are dripping. Yachne’s bringing flour home but in a bag that’s ripping.
Chorus

She puts no sugar nor no yeast, the filling is forgotten. But in the oven getting hot are Yachne’s bad hamentaschen.
Chorus

Yachne takes a mishloach manos to her mother-in-law, two or three black Hamentaschen, some half-burnt, some raw.
Chorus
