Pretty Fly For A Rabi

 Weird Al

 

 Vern zol fun dir a blintsa 

 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 And all the goyim say I'm pretty fly for a rabbi 

 

 Meccha leccha hi, meccha hiney hiney ho 

 

 Our temple's had a fair share of rabbis in the past 

 But most of'em were nudniks and none of'em would last 

 But ournew guy's real kosher, I think he'll do the trick 

 I tell ya, he's to die for - he really knows his shtick 

 

 So how's by you? Have you seen this Jew? 

 Reads the Torah, does his own accounting too 

 Working' like a dog at the synagogue 

 He's there all day, he's there all day 

 Just say "Vay is mir!" and he'll kick into gear 

 He'll bring you lots of cheer and maybe bagels with some shmeer 

 Just grab your yarmulka and 

 Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing! 

 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 And all the goyim say I'm pretty fly (for a rabbi) 

 

 He shops at discount stores, not just any will suffice 

 He has to find a bargain 'cause he won't pay retail price 

 He never acts meshugga and he's hardly a schlemiel 

 But if you wanna haggle, oy, he'll make you such a deal! 

 

 People used to scoff, now they say "Mazel tov!" 

 He's such a macher 'cause he worked his tuchis off 

 Yeah, he keeps his cool and teaches shul 

 What's not to like? What's not to like? 

 Oh high holy days, you know he prays and prays 

 And he never eats pastrami on white break with mayonnaise 

 Put on your yarmulka and 

 Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing! 

 

 When he's doing a Bar Mitzvah, now that you shouldn't miss 

 He'll always shlep on down for a wedding or a briss 

 They say he's got a lot of chutzpah, he's really quite hhhhhip 

 The parnets pay the moyl and he gets to keep the tip! 

 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 (How ya doin', Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey! 

 

 Meccha leccha hi, meccha meccha cholly ho 

 

 He's doin' well, I gotta kvell 

 The yentas love him, even shicksas think he's swell 

 Show up at his home, he says, "Shalom!" 

 And "Have some cake-You want some cake?" 

 Yeah he calls the shots, we really love him lots 

 Oy gevalt, I'm so ferklempt that I could plotz! 

 So grab your yarmulka-- 

 The one you got for Chanukah-- 

 Let's put on our yarmulkas and-- 

 Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing!
