Weird Al Yankovic - Pretty Fly [For A Rabbi] lyrics

Album: Running With Scissors (1999)

Veren 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
And all the goyim say I am 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 & none of em would last
But our new guy´s real kosher, I think he will do the trick
I tell ya, he has to dies for - he really knows his shtick

So how ´bout you? Have you seen this Jew?
Reads the Torah, does his own accounting, too
Workin´ like a dog at the synagogue
He has there all day, he has there all day
Just say Vay iz mir! & he will kick into gear
He will bring you lots of cheer & maybe bagels with some shmeer
Just grab your yamacha 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 am pretty fly (for a rabbi)

He shops at discount stores, not just any will sufice
He´s to find a bargain ´cause he won´t pay retail price
He never acts meshugga & he has hardly a schlemiel
But if you want to haggle, oy, he will make you such a deal!

People used to scoff, now they say Mazel tov!
He has such a macher ´cause he worked his tuchis off
Yea, he keeps his cool & teaches shul
What´s not to like? What´s not to like?
On high holy days, you know he prays & prays
And he never eats pastrami on white bread with mayonnaise
Put on your yarmulka and
Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing!

When he has doing a Bar Mitzvah, now that you shouldn´t miss
He will always shlep on down for a wedding or a briss
They say he has got a lot of chutzpah, he has really quite hhhhhip
The parents pay the moyl & 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 has doin´ well, I´ve got to kvell
The yentas love him, even shicksas think he has swell
Show up at his home, he says Shalom
And Have some cake - you want some cake?
Yah, he calls the shots, we really love him lots
Oy gevalt, I am 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!
