Ma‐ma‐shgi‐ach… (4x)
I have my dinner like they did in Torah times
And say a bracha right before my Manischewitz wine
(ha‐ga‐fen)
My steak might be rare but you can bet there ain’t no blood
And you won’t get in my tummy, babe, unless you
chew your cud
Oh... oh‐oh, oh, oh… oh‐oh‐oh‐oh‐oh‐oh
I cook it hot, but not on Shabbat
Oh... oh‐oh, oh, oh… oh‐oh‐oh‐oh‐oh‐oh
I keep it Glatt, and kasher my pots
Can’t eat my, can’t eat my, no you can’t eat from my
Kosher plate (hamotzi lechem min ha‐aretz) (2x)
Ka‐ka‐ka‐kosher plate, ka‐ka‐kosher plate (2x)

Yo hamentashen… I’m really happy for you,
and I’mma let you finish…
But Chanukah had one of the best Jewish holidayspecific
ethnic foods of ALL TIME.
It was December, I was hangin’ with my meidel
Eating gelt and spinnin’ up some dreidel
Tryin’ to win but I was not so nimble
I got the nuns and she got all the gimmels
It was Ma’oz Tzur that I was hearin’
As my coins continued disappearin’
Suddenly my nose starts to twitchin’
From the aroma comin’ from the kitchen
So we’re playin’ this game, just like I told ya
By the light of the Chanukah menorah
We had to finish the round, I couldn’t wait though –
I knew my mom was fryin’ up potatoes
They were latkes, fresh and delicious
My girl got up and I got suspicious
She said “relax, now don’t be a hater,
I’m just gon’ help her put away the grater”
In the night, we lit the lights
Like maccabees of days of old
But I can’t believe my girl has gone and stole…
all my Chanukah latkes
How could she eat those latkes
All my Chanukah latkes
I Got Tefillin

Leads: Yan Frenkel, Eric Dinowitz
I got tefillin
And it’s wound on my left arm real tight (2x)
And it’s wound on my left arm real, real tight
At Bar Mitzvah
Rav said “Mazel Tov!”
Took leather stuff
And wrapped me up
Told me I’d need
A set of these
And now I’ve got
Phylacteries!
Put it on in the morning ‘cause it’s what the Torah said
Got a box on my arm and another on my head
Went around seven times, yeah it’s easy to see
And the sh’ma’s on my mind, quite literally
Because I’m Jewish, I’m Jewish
I’m Jewish, I’m Jewish (876x)
I got tefillin… (woohoo)
