Текст песни Gefilte Fish - Green Jellÿ

Gefilte Fish

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

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

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

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

Baruch atah adonai
Eloheinu melech ha'olam
Hamotzi lechem
Min ha'aretz

Borei
P'ri
Hagafen

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

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

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

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

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

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!
