Lyric Pretty Fly For A Rabbi
Veren zol fun dir a blintsa
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
And all the goyim say I m pretty fly for a rabbi
Meccha leccha hi, meccha hiney hiney ho
Our temple s had a fair share of rabbis in the past
But most of em were nudniks and none of em would last
But our new guy s real kosher, I tyhink he ll do the trick
I tell ya, he s to dies for - he really knows his shtick
So how s by you? Have you seen this Jew?
Reads the Torah, does his own accounting too
Workin like a dog at the synagogue
He s there all day, he s there all day
Just say "Vay iz mir!" and he ll kick into gear
He ll bring you lots of cheer and maybe bagels with some shmeer
Just grab your yarmulka and
Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing!
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
And all the goyim say I m pretty fly (for a rabbi)
He shops at discount stores, not just any will sufice
He has to find a bargain cause he won t pay retail price
He never acts meshugga and he s hardly a schlemiel
But if you wanna haggle, oy, he ll make you such a deal!
People used to scoff, now they say "Mazel tov!"
He s such a macher cause he worked his tuchis off
Yeah, he keeps his cool and teaches shul
What s not to like? What s not to like?
On high holy days, you know he prays and prays
And he never eats pastrami on white breath with mayonnaise
Put on your yarmulka and
Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing!
When he s doing a Bar Mitzvah, now that you shouldn t miss
He ll always shlep on down for a wedding or a briss
They say he s got a lot of chutzpah, he s really quitehhhhhip
The parents pay the moyl and he gets to keep the tip
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
Meccha leccha hi, meccha meccha cholly ho
He s doin well, I gotta kvell
The yentas love him, even shicksas think he s swell
Show up at his home, he says "Shalom"
And "Have some cake - you want some cake?"
Yah, he calls the shots, we really love him lots
Oy gevalt, I m so ferklempt that I could plotz
So grab your yarmulka
The one you got for Chanukah
Let s put on our yarmulkas and
Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing!
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
And all the goyim say I m pretty fly for a rabbi
