Holiday Lingo

[Verse]
Shalom means peace, also hi and bye too
L’chaim toasts to life yes it is true
Say Yom Tov for good day until last light
Mashiach the savior will make everything right

[Chorus]
Learning the lingo all through the year
From Rosh Hashanah to Passover cheer
Elsa’s kiddush is a blessing on the wine
Celebrate together each festival time

[Verse 2]
Tzedakah means give charity just to feel it flow
Yowmakah caps your head when to temple we go
Schlep or drag your burden up the hill
Bubbie is grandma who brings more than your fill

[Bridge]
Oy vey oh my what a way to bless
Menorah candlelight expects nothing less
Mazel tov a congratulation, sent up to the sky
Kvetch means complain for little reasons why

[Verse 3]
Gelt coins and dreidel for the kids who play
Shofar horn blown on each new year’s day
Sukkayot come to eat brisket and pie
Hallel sing songs of praise
to the Most High

[Verse 4]
Tzedakah means you are giving to the poor
Call it Mishpacha the family we adore
Mensch the word for being kind and true
Yiddishe kup when you are being wise too
Say bissel to ask for just a bit
Or tsam fill it up don’t quit

[Chorus]
Learning the lingo all through the year
From Rosh Hashanah to Passover cheer
Elsa’s kiddush is a blessing on the wine
Celebrate together each festival time
