There are several songs that are traditionally sung at the Passover seder table, including:
“Dayenu” – a song that expresses gratitude for the various ways that God helped the Jewish people during the Exodus from Egypt.
“Chad Gadya” – a cumulative song that tells the story of a kid (young goat) that is bought by a father, then attacked by a cat, bitten by a dog, beaten by a stick, and so on until it is ultimately saved by God.
“Ma Nishtana” – a song that is sung by the youngest person present, who asks “Four Questions” about the different customs and rituals of the seder.
“Echad Mi Yodea” – a song that lists the different parts of the Passover story and asks the question, “Who knows one?” with each verse building on the previous one.
“Adir Hu” – a song that praises God for his power and might.
“Kadesh Urchatz” – a song that is sung during the washing of the hands, which is done before eating the karpas (vegetable) as a symbol of purification.
These songs are an important part of the Passover seder, helping to tell the story of the Jewish people’s liberation from slavery in Egypt and to reinforce the themes of gratitude, freedom, and faith

Song Lyrics for Passover Song Mah Nishtana
How different is this night from all other nights?
On all other nights we may eat either chametz or matzah; why on this night only matzah?
On all other nights we may eat other kinds of herbs why on this night bitter herbs?
On all other nights we do not even dip the herbs once; why on this night do we dip twice?
On all other nights we eat either sitting or reclining; why on this night do we recline?
