HEY JEWS

(Sung to the melody of The Beatles’s “Hey Jude” by John Lennon & Paul McCartney)

Hey Jews
I know it’s bad
These are sad times but they’ll get better
Remember although it’s hard to be sure
We will endure
If we stick together

Hey Jews
Don’t be afraid
They may hate us, but we can get them
The minute you let them under your skin
They start to win
So just don’t let them.

So any time you’re losing hope
Hey Jews, don’t mope
Don’t go through the world like woeful sad sacks
`Cause we all know the world’s a mess
But if you stress
And carry that weight, you’ll just get bad backs

Oy oy oy oy oy, oy oy oy oy

Hey Jews
They’ll shout you down
Stupid students so loud and phony
They’re screaming and holding up silly signs
Just let them whine
In their sanctimony

So any time you feel despair
Just say a prayer
A bracha will keep you on the right track
Well don’t you know your enemies
May swarm like fleas
But please rest assured, we always fight back

Oy oy oy oy oy, yasher koach

Hey Jews,
We’ll be okay
Keep your heads down in your Siddurim
Remember to always wear your kippot
From Shavuot to Shushan Purim
Purim Purim Purim Purim Purim oyyyyyyyy!!

Nah nah nah, Wear your kippah
Rosh Hashanah, Hey Jews
Hey Jews: you can’t lose

Nah nah nah, Read your Mishnah
Read the Torah, Hey Jews
Susan Sarandon will soon be abandoned

Nah nah nah, Cut the challah,
Light havdalah, Hey Jews
Greta’s flotilla will tumble and spill`er

Nah nah nah, Dance the hora,
Mourn the Shoah, Hey Jews
Cynthia Nixon: her brain could use fixin’

Nah nah nah, sittin’ shiva
In the Sukkah, Hey Jews
Here is what we know: screw Brian Eno

Nah nah nah, join kehilla
Do amidah, Hey Jews
Javier Bardem: oh, just disregard `im

Nah nah nah, Learn the parsha
Whole Megillah, Hey Jews
Hide your daughters from Roger Waters

Nah nah nah, Learn halacha
Learn Kabbalah, Hey Jews
Hey John Cusack a brain is what you lack

Nah nah nah, do a mitzvah
with Kavanah, Hey Jews
Mandy Patinkin: I’m thinkin’ you’re stinkin’

Nah nah nah, Hallelujah
Give tzedakah, Hey Jews
Dave Chappelle can go to hell

Nah nah nah, eatin’ halvah
In the mikvah, Hey Jews
We love Debra Messing; that girl is a blessing!

Nah nah nah, lit menorah
On the bimah, Hey Jews
Tovah Feldshuh is really a swell Jew!

Nah nah nah, say a bracha
Eatin’ matzah, Hey Jews
Michael Rappaport…I can’t rhyme that but you’re great!

Shalom, dammit.

LYRICS:

IT WON’T GET LONG

(sung to the melody of The Beatles’s “It Won’t Be Long” by John Lennon and Paul McCartney)

It won’t get long (No no no no no no)
It won’t get long (No no no no no no)
It won’t get long
Oh, what am I to do?

Every night I try to get in the zone
She is tight, but there’s no starch in my bone

It won’t get long (No no no no no no)
It won’t get long (No no no no no no)
It won’t get long
My schlong won’t do the do

I eat healthy
I take solid poops
But my peepee
My dingy just droops
Life’s no good
`cause I can’t get wood
My little worm
Just won’t get firm

In the bed I try to act like a pimp
But instead my pocket rocket goes limp

It won’t get long (No no no no no no)
It won’t get long (No no no no no no)
It won’t get long
My dong won’t do the do

In my twenties I was adored
I had long hair and my prick was a sword
Now I’m fat
And my dick falls flat
Not even porn
Can rouse my dead horn

Every night I try to get my wife hot
She is tight, but I fall out of her slot

It won’t get long (No no no no no no)
It won’t get long (No no no no no no)
It won’t get long
My balls are turning blue.
