Pretty Fly For A Rabbi - Weird Al Yankovic
(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 our new 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 Workin' like a dog at the synagogue He's there all day, he's there all day Just say, "Vey iz mir" and he'll kick into gear. He'll bring you lots of cheer And maybe bagels with some schmear Just grab your yarmulke 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 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 meshuggah 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 tuchus off. Yeah, he keeps his cool and teaches shul. What's not to like? What's not to like? On high holy days, you know he prays and prays, And he never eats pastrami on white bread with mayonnaise. Put on your yarmulke 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 bris. They say, he's got a lot of chutzpah, he's really quite chip The parents pay the mohel 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 Meccha leccha hi, meccha meccha cholly ho He's doin' well, I gotta kvell The yentas love him, even shiksas 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 verklempt that I could plotz. So grab your yarmulke, the one you got for Chanukah. Let's put on our yarmulke and hey, hey, do that Hebrew thing.
