Before And After Eating FoodOn everything we eat or drink an brochah we must say and all of those who hear you speak should answer with amen. Chorus: Before and after eating food, don’t forget what you must do thank Hashem for giving you the good food that you eat.
and all of those who hear you speak should answer with amen Hemotzi Lecem Min Hoaretz this is what you say.
Borei pri Hahofen... On cookies or on a piece of cake Borei Minei Mezonos... On apples, pears and other fruits Borei pri Hoeitz... On potatoes and tomatoes that grow from the ground borei pri Hoadama.... On Ice cream, candies, meat or drink Shehakol nihyeh bidvaro... On Every ContinentOn every continent Each fruit is different In color, in taste and name No two are quite the same. The colors on things that grow Are bright as a new rainbow Hashem did this wondrous thing To make life more interesting. The taste and smell, are easy to tell, They make all the fruits seem so inviting And when they’re ripe, each one is a different type That’s what makes the world so exciting. The taste and smell… Ha’eitzRed Cherries, blueberries, oranges they pack in crates Plums and peaches, the seforim teach us, are all Ha’eitz Tangerines and Olives green, grow on trees high in the air Apricots and coconuts, prunes or pear. Purple plums fit on your thumbs, apples red or Macintosh Say Ha’eitz on all these fruits before you nosh Nice round grapefruit, different shape fruit grapes red or yellow green Climb those twigs to reach those figs or nectarines. Pomegranates from the holy land avocado, also dates It’s amazin’ that on a raisin we say Ha’eitz Filberts, almonds even walnuts Almost all the big and small nuts. On an eitz is where they grow, even pistachio Filled with juice they then come loose, Wrapped in shells or in their peel From their tree right down to me, a tasty meal. Found Some PeanutsFound some peanuts, found some peanuts, found some peanuts In the earth And right after I found some peanuts I could see what they Were worth. Crushed some peanuts, crushed some peanuts, crushed some peanuts Without much toil And when I crushed some peanuts I got Lots of peanut oil. Went for cotton, it was gotten, made some wicks so clean And white I put those wicks in my oil and I lit them For a light. Oil for frying, oil for baking, oil for shmeering On hands or cheeks Oil for salads, oil for cooking or for fixing A door that squeaks. Got some money to buy some honey and dropped the peanuts In the middle I said Borei Pri Hoadoma and I had some Peanut brittle. Found some peanuts, ground some peanuts first one time Then another Sprinkled salt upon those peanut and I had some Peanut butter. Peanuts roasted, peanuts toasted, peanuts cooked And peanuts fried You can find a new use for peanuts no matter How many you’ve tried. FruitThere’s no such thing as a watermelon tree There never was and there never will be I guarantee, you never will see a water melon Pri growing on a tree It’s round and green, red in between Take my advice and try a slice Each and everyone weighs about a ton You’ll lose your wits spitting out those pits. I guarantee… There’s no such thing as a strawberry tree A tree that grows a strawberry And I say nope there is no hope Of a tree that grows a cantaloupe Or if a tree grew a honeydew And the wind blew, it can land on you They’re safe and sound, growing on the ground Borei Pri Hoadoma for them is found. Or if a tree grew a honeydew… So Hashem...Your Lunch Is PackedYour lunch is packed, so get ready to go There’s lots of Brochos that you want to know On all those foods you love and drinks that flow.
You still need a place to learn the rule A place that teaches you where all things grow.
On food from a tree or the ground or a plant L’man Hashem you’ll learn just what to say Really gotta teach you, right now come in to visit Tzvi Really gotta show you, come in and see my grocery.
Come in, and keep me company Come in, into Tzvi’s grocery store.
Little Rabbi Goldberg, loved that Kosher Puff And fed him lots of Matzah Balls And other Kosher stuff. Then one day it happened, Puff was eating pork Little Rabbi Goldberg took, that dragon for a walk Gently he explained him, that dragons don’t eat meat That comes from little piggies, that have dirty, filthy feet. Then Puff became Bar Mitzvah, put on Tefillin every day Wrapped in his Tallis, that’s the way he prayed Made Brochos before eating, Bentching after every meal Imagine how religious it made that dragon feel. Now, there were some people, who did things just for spite They’d curse Jews and attack them, just to get into a fight When Puff the dragon heard this, he let out a mighty roar Now, those wicked people aren’t with us any more. Now, Puff the Kosher Dragon found himself a bride Now, little Kosher dragons are his source of pride They’ll grow up doing Mitzvos, learning Torah, praying too And Rabbi Goldberg teaching them, what Kosher dragons do. Now, you who may be listening, may think we’re making fun But deep down in the story, is a moral for everyone If dragons wear a Kippa, keep Shabbos and Kosher too Then you can learn, like Puff did, how to be a real good Jew.
