Nursery Rhymes For Jews



Mashie has a little mind
Little mind, little mind
When it comes to Mashie's mind
There's little she need know
Teach her how to cook and clean
Cook and clean, cook and clean
Teach her how to cook and clean
And watch her children grow

Baa, baa, black hat
Have you any gelt
Yessir, yessir
I've a money belt
Some for my family
And some for the poor
But none for the tax man who knocks at my door

Hey-diddle-diddle
There stands a Yid'l
Sanctifying the moon
Tomorrow he'll shiver
Kneel down by the river
And dip in two plates and a spoon

Little Moshe Yoel
Sat in a kollel
Learning his Pe'ah and Demai
His wife works all day
While he shteigs away
And thinks, What a smart boy am I

Halivni-Weissni sat on a wall
Couldn't decide on which side to fall
All the frum soldiers in Tziv'os Hashem
Couldn't convince him to be one of them

Rabbi Plott would eat what's glatt
His wife ate Triangle-K
Their kids did not know what to eat
And so they ran away

Three tiny bugs
Three tiny bugs
See how they run
See how they run
They live in lettuce and broccoli
In cauliflower they hide from me
My microscope makes them clear to see
The three tiny bugs
Three tiny bugs

Sing a song of past tense
Of Jewish days gone by
When we lived in Europe
Nobody was frei
When the ghettoes opened
Off maskilim ran
But the shtetl always stayed
A Torah wonderland
Everyone knew Torah
Loved it more than money
No one had to work in that
Land of Milk and Honey
And though we're now in Golus
In an Age that's Dark
We'll try to rebuild Poland
Here in Borough Park

Little Miss Alpert
Sat in an airport
That was her first shidduch date
She thought the guy wore a very nice tie
The chasenoh is Sunday at eight
