| Ancient Hebrew
Lore |
Come gather round my friends
Hear the Ancient
Hebrew Lore
Just open your hearts
Let the words flow in
The Soul of
the Hebrews
Speaks deep down within you
You can trust my friends
Let
the words flow in |
| |
This we know
Long ago
We were slaves
In
Egypt Land
Life grew grim
But we were saved
We crossed the sea
And
we were free |
| |
Moses gave the law
And we did agree
As we
traveled
In holy harmony
We took our promised land
With our mighty
warriors
And lived our days
In our sacred ways |
| |
A 1000 years passed
In our holy land
Then
dragged away
We went astray
And so its been
Just Lore to us
But now
we're glad
To hear what is us |
| |

| Open Your Hand Psalm
145:16 |
Poseach ess yaw de chawe
Ooo masbeah l'chol
chai ratzon
Poseach ess yaw de chawe
Oo masbeah l'chol chai ratzon |
| |
King David of Ancient Lore
Pointed the way to
go
Think with strong feelings
And surely it'll be so |
| |
You open Your hand
And fulfill the will
Of
every living being
So listen up
And hear these words
Guard the
feelings of your heart
Cause G-d knows them one and all
And fulfills them
from the start |
| |
|
| Oy Vay Blues |
Brothers and Sisters
Gather round me
Listen how we've lived our lives as Jews
We've been down there
All
around down there
Lord, we got them Oy Vay Blues |
| |
Went down to Egypt
As Pharoh's honored guests
Oh Lord we paid our dues
We worked so hard down there
As slaves to
Pharoh
Lord, we got them Oy Vah blues |
| |
Why won't you show us
Why won't you tell
us
We want to live as Jews
If you'd just show us
If you'd just tell
us
We'll follow after you |
| |
Then to our promised land
We went our sacred
ways
And lived our lives as Jews
As the days and years passed by
We
forgot all what you said
Lord we got them oy vay blues |
| |
We went from land to land
Hoping to hear from
you
And lived our lives as Jews
But as time passed by
We slowly lost
our way
And we got them oy vah blues. |
| |
As we come home again
Looking to hear from You
And living our lives as Jews
But much to our surprise
We havn't
heard from You
And we still got them oy vay blues. |

| Baal Shem Tov Blues
|
I've got the Baal Shem Tov Blues
What more
can I do
I've got the Baal Shem Tov Blues
Trying to spread the word to
you |
| |
Got them in the morning
Got them in the
evening
Got them all day long
Lord, I've got the Baal Shem Tov Blues
|
| |
His dad died when he was five
And the last
words he said to him
Son, you've got a very holy soul
Don't fear
anything but Hashem |
| |
So he grew up as an orphan to his
teens
Without a home or family
Wondering through the fields and wood
Without a fear of anything |
| |
And so the stories say
He grew holier
everyday
Leading his flock with miracles
Towards our holy King Moshiach
|
| |
So the Baal Shem Tov says
Brothers and
sisters listen to me
You too have very holy souls
So live your life
joyously |
| |
So listen
Tell your friends and family
You
too have very holy souls
So live your lives joyously |
| |
|
|
|
| Feeling Good |
Feeling good is how we know
When we're
thinking good
And feeling bad is how we know
When we're thinking bad
Brothers and sisters hear me
You get what you're feeling
Good or
bad
So it be |
| |
Think good and it will surely be good
The
Rebbe says
Tracht Goot V'Zicher Zein Goot
The Rebbe says
So when
you're feeling good
Look for the good
You'll surely get it
The
Rebbe says |
| |
This and that making us feel so sad
Things
all around making us feel so bad
Please hear me when I say
Turn your
attention another away
Till you're feeling good
It's the way |
| |
Listen to your heart
Its connected to your
soul
It knows what you want
And guides you to your goal
Please hear
me when I say
Think your dreams in every way
So you're feeling good
It's the way |

| Mezuzah Man |
Standing by our side
An ally is what we all
need
Travelling through our lives
A sign for you and me to read
Mezuzah at our door
There for all to see |
| |
He wears it on his sleeve
He speaks it from
his heart
He tells all he meets
He's come to do his part
Mezuzah at
every door
Is where we're going to start |
| |
The Mezuzah man
The Mezuzah Man has come
|
| |
Our Holy Torah says
Write them on the
doorposts of your house
These handwritten parchments
Protect your
coming in and going out
Mezuzah at every door
Without a Jew left out
|
| |
So spread the word
Tell your friends and
family
Let's all get together
That's what we truly need
Mezuzah at
every door
Joins us to our soul family |
| |
|
|
|
| Mezuzah Jew |
So now we know
Just where we've been
And
how we've reached
The place we're in
So what to do
And how and
when
Is all there's left
To know my friends |
| |
The past is gone
We're in the now
Just
feeling good
As we know how
We're here to help
And shine G-d's ray
So others too
Can find their way |
| |
Brothers and sisters
The time has come
To
join together
And act as one
Just hang a Mezuzah
On your door

It's G-d's command
Be a Mezuzah Jew |
| |
The Baal Shem Tov
Came to say
Live your
life I

Telling Besht tales
And singing these tunes
And expecting King Moshiach
Will be here soon
And living our lives
With joyful attitudes

As Mezuzah Jews |
