¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
[Verse 1]
C
When we were young Yeshiva boys' way back in '65,
G G7 C
We were known throughout the city as "the bums from the east side".
C C7 F
In school we never studied, all we did was laugh and play,
F C G G7 C
No Rebbi ever lasted long they all just ran away.
[Chorus]
F C
Rebbi tried to teach us Torah each and every day,
F C
But we just closed our eyes and ear's to everything he'd say,
F C E7 Am
And all we liked to do was sit and watch our T.V. sets,
F C G C
We'd talk about the Yankees, and the Dodgers, and the Mets.
[Verse 2]
C
Well the Principle brought the new Rebbe in on the first day of the term,
G G7 C
And he said to him "Show discipline, be strong and tough and firm".
C C7 F
"Don't think these youngster run the school", he said with a big frown,
F C G G7 C
"And by the way, for the next few weeks I'm going out of town".
[Verse 3]
C
But this here Rebbe he was strange, he never lost his cool,
G G7 C
He just kept on teaching, while we broke all the rules,
C C7 F
And though we hadn't even learned a single word all year,
F C G G7 C
It was Pesach time already, and the Rebbi was still here.
[Chorus]
F C
Rebbi tried to teach us Torah each and every day,
F C
But we just closed our eyes and ear's to everything he'd say,
F C E7 Am
And all we liked to do was sit and watch our T.V. sets,
F C G C
We'd talk about the Yankees, and the Dodgers, and the Mets.
[Verse 4]
C
When Lag B'omer came around it was time to play that game,
G G7 C
Against those boys' from Brooklyn, how we prayed it wouldn't rain.
C C7 F
All nine of us got on the bus with our gloves and bats,
F C G G7 C
Rebbi also came along in his jacket, tie and hat
[Verse 5]
C
Right from the start we all could see things weren't going right,
G G7 C
Some big strong kid from Bensonhurst had hit one out of sight.
C C7 F
And just when things were looking up, the tide about to turn,
F C G G7 C
Our catcher went a broke his leg while sliding into third.
[Verse 6]
C
"It's a forfeit". cried the other team, "you only got eight guys",
G G7 C
"No we don't", a deep voice said, much to our surprise,
C C7 F
"Since I am their Rebbe, well the fair thing it would seem,
F C G G7 C
Is let me be the ninth man, the ninth man on this team".
[Verse 7]
C
Rebbi went, picked up the bat, faced the pitch with a smile,
G G7 C
Knocked the cover off that ball, went about half a mile.
C C7 F
He flew around the bases, and scored the winning run,
F C G G7 C
We danced and cheered until he said "Now boys' you owe me one. "
[Verse 8]
C
Next day in the classroom, no one moved and no one stirred,
G G7 C
Rebbe started teaching, and his voice it could be heard,
C C7 F
We all said, "Hey, its interesting. The man he is no bore",
F C G G7 C
The legendary east-side-bums were gone for ever more.
[Chorus]
F C
Rebbi used to teach us Torah each and every day,
F C
We opened our eyes and ears to everything he'd say,
F C E7 Am
No more did we sit all day and watch our T.V. sets,
F C G C
We talked about the Rashi, and the Tosfos, and the Mets!
