🎸 Verse 1:
    B              A             B             A
Our temple's had a fair share of rabbis in the past
    B                A            B                  A
But most of 'em were nudniks, and none of them would last
    B                  A         B                  A
But our new guy's real kosher
I think he'll do the trick
  B                A           B
I tell ya, he's to die for! He really knows his shtick!


🎸 Chorus:
   B        F
So how's by you?
         B         F
Have you seen this Jew?
D                         E
Reads the Torah, does his own accounting, too!
A       B      F          B     F
Working like a dog at the synagogue
     D                   E
He's there all day, he's there all day
A         B      F                    B    F
Just say "Vey iz mir!" and he'll kick into gear
                D
He'll bring you lots of cheer
          E
And maybe bagels with some shmeer
A G   D         A     E A
   So grab your yarmulke
    B
And hey, hey! Do that Hebrew thing!

🎸 Verse 2:
   B                 A                B           A
He shops at discount stores, not just any will suffice
   B             A                  B                A
He has to find a bargain, ’cause he won't pay retail price
   B            A               B             A
He never acts meshugga and he's hardly a schlemiel
    B            A                 B
But if you wanna haggle, oy, he'll make you such a deal!

What's not to like? What's not to like?
A       B    F                 B         F
On high holy days, you know he prays and prays
       D                            E
And he never eats pastrami on white bread with mayonnaise
A G    D       A     E A
   Put on your yarmulke
    B
And hey, hey! Do that Hebrew thing!

      B                          B            D
He'll always shlep on down for a wedding or a briss
              B                           B
They say he's got a lot of chutzpah, he's really quite hhhip

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