School Has Ended(T.T.T.O. Vikorev Pizureinu) School has ended camp has begun Gan Izzy to you we run Learning, laughing, playing too Gan Izzy we love you
All that spirit We’re the greatest camp And we’re proud to declare it You’ve helped us achieve The way as a Jew We’ll always remember you
A super place for us to go That’s why we come when school is done For a fun filled summer as one Together we will strive till we reach our goal To live a Torah life as a bas Yisroel Gan Izzy here we wait don’t delay ‘cuz we’re coming back to stay Gan Izzy you’re o.k.
A camp of fun For me, Gan Yisroel Is the only one It’s a camp for me It’s a camp for you It’s a camp for every Jew
We will miss you in the fall It’s a great camp, after all Machaneinu Gan Yisroel We’re The Best Camp To Be FoundWe’re the best camp to be found There ain’t no better camp around You’re the one for me G.I. G-A-N I-Z-Z-Y Ain’t gonna go to another camp Why?
Because I love G.I. Shake It Up, Zaidy!Shake it up, Zaidy! Shake it up, Zaidy! You look so cool, when you daven in shul… You look so hip, when in the mikva you dip… You look so weird, when you shave your beard… You look so divine, when you make Kiddush on wine… Tell us that you’re willin’, to put on Tefillin… Tie Me Yetzer Hora Down, Chief(T.T.T.O Tie Me Kangaroo Down) Chorus:
Tie me Yetzer Hora down We don’t want to come to grief, chief So, tie me Yetzer Hora down. Love your fellow Jew, Lou Love your fellow Jew It’s the basis of our belief, Keith It’s the greatest thing you can do. Put Tefillin on your head, Fred Put Tefillin on you head So he grabbed those straps of hide, Clyde An’ that’s him, moving ahead. Put a Mezuzah on your gate, mate Put a Mezuzah on your gate This Mitzvah ain’t no joke, Bloke It’ll save ya from a dangerous fate. Light candles like a good Jewish girl, Shirl Light candles like a good Jewish girl So she grabbed those sticks of wax, Max This Mitzvah’s really a pearl. Gotta pray to Hashem, Clem Gotta pray to Hashem Mornin’, arvo, and eve, Steve Daven again and again. Kosher meat’s what I like, Mike Kosher meat’s what I like So get rid of your pork, Hawke Let ya piggies go for a hike. Educate your kid, Sid Educate you kid Lit ‘im learn from night till dawn, Norm Or Itche Groner’s gonna flip his lid. Hang those fringes on your shirt, Squirt Hang those fringes on your shirt Don’t hide ‘em in you pants, Lance And don’t let ‘em drag in the dirt. Rest on the seventh day, Ray Rest on the seventh day Devote this time to ya soul, Joel Put those tools away. Learn Chitas each day, Jay Learn Chitas each day Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya It will keep the Yetzer Hora away. Don’t forget to learn, Ern Don’t forget to learn Truckin’ away through Shas, Gus Do yourself a good turn. Out with the dollar bill, Phil Out with the dollar bill Fill that box with Tzedokahh, Ocker Get home an’ empty ya till. There’s Elokus in a platypus, Gus There’s Elokus in a platypus There’s Hashem in every little thing, Bing Even in kangaroos. Look forward to the time to come, chum Look forward to the time to come We want Moshiach now, Mal We’ll all together be one. Hey Rebbe, RebbeChorus: Hey Rebbe, Rebbe, where’s the place I’ve really got to know Hey Rebbe, Rebbe, it’s getting late And I’ve got to go
Gemara, and Rashi too I was fooling around, when my Rebbe looked at me And I didn’t know what to do He gave me a look that touched my soul I really started to shake I made up my mind, right then and there That I would stay awake He came at me as quick as a wink I started to run on the floor But my Rebbe got hold of me, and threw me out To the other side of the door When I awoke from the slump I was in I started to roam the halls When, all of a sudden, the principal came A man big, wide, and tall He asked me what I was doing there Fooling around in the hall I told him, my Rebbe chucked me out ‘Cause I was having a ball He told me to come to the office with him ‘Cause he’s gonna call my dad I started to cry, for then I realized That I never, ever should have been bad The moral of the story is plain to see And one we can surely face That, when a sefer is in front of you
My parents don’t want me to Daven They tell me do something, instead That’s when I tell them, the things that I’ve learned Those wonderful things that you’ve said: Chorus: Chazak Ve’ematz, always remember Be strong in your trust, not a pretender You cannot just take, you also must give Only then have you learned how to live. But my parents don’t see that I’m filled with emotion And serving Hashem with a total devotion You’ve cleared all my doubts, you’ve answered my dreams Now I know what a Jew really means. I’m laughed at, because of my Kippa My friends make me feel like a fool They don’t understand why I wear it all day Why I don’t take it off after school. At home, I make sure we keep Kosher But few of my friends do the same They hide their religion where no one can see How I wish they could hear you explain: Chorus:
But so many are lost in a world of confusion Their faith isn’t real, it’s just an illusion I cry for them all, I pity them so For the beautiful things they don’t know. I’m writing to you, dear Yossi In reply to your letter to me These are the troubles in the life of a Jew As by now you’ve found out, I can see. I’m proud you’ve continued the practice Of keeping Mitzvos, as you should Now try to explain, as I once did to you To your Jewish friends, as I would: Chorus:
It is true, that we’re lost in a world of confusion Their faith isn’t real, It’s just an illusion Don’t cry for them all, but teach them to do The beautiful laws of the Jew. You should always know the place Download 0.87 Mb. Share with your friends:
