Gefilte Fish

[Verse 1]
When I was a boy they told me don’t be a fool
Follow tradition and go to Hebrew school
Read the Torah and be a man
Don’t eat meat with milk and don’t eat ham

[Verse 2]
Be a doctor, lawyer. You must be shrewd
And don’t forget that love is in your food
When I visit my mom I’ve got to wipe my feet
She says hello by telling me what’s to eat

[Chorus]
Oy vey, what do you say?
Immortality is on its way
Food is power. You can have your wish
Rule the world with Gefilte Fish

[Bridge 1]
Gefilte Fish
It’s a tuna meatloaf dish
Gefilte Fish
Hot or cold as you wish
Gefilte Fish
Don’t skimp on the horseradish
Gefilte Fish
Ge-filte-filte Fish

[Bridge 2]
Baruch atah adonai
Eloheinu melech ha’olam
Hamotzi lechem
Min ha’aretz

Borei
P’ri
Hagafen

[Chorus]
Oy vey! What do you say?
Immortality is on its way
Food is power. You can have your wish
Rule the world with Gefilte Fish

[Verse 2]
Keep your bagels and lox, borscht and kreplach
Give me the food that makes the grandmothers rock
Pour the jelly from the jar or the can
Become the uber-kosher Superman

[Verse 4]
Matzo, corned beef, and blintzes are fine
For kugel and chamantash I’d wait in line
Not Abe Vigoda or herring or pike
It’s just the fish that no one else likes

[Chorus]
Oy vey! What do you say?
Immortality is on its way
Food is power. You can have your wish
Rule the world with Gefilte Fish

[Bridge 1]
Gefilte Fish
It’s a tuna meatloaf dish
Gefilte Fish
Hot or cold as you wish
Gefilte Fish
Don’t skimp on the horseradish
Gefilte Fish
Ge-filte-filte Fish

[Outro]
Gefilte Fish
It’s a tuna meatloaf dish
Gefilte Fish
Don’t skimp on the horseradish
Oy vey! What do you say?
Immortality is on its way

Oy gevalt!
