Chutzpah


(CHORUS)
Chutzpah, I ’ve got Chutzpah
(Where) In your place is where I’m gonna put ya’
(What am I?) I’m a Jewish emcee that’ll always stay true
Baruch atah adonai elohaynu

Shabbat Shalom or better yet Good Shabbis
Don’t even bother ‘cause you just can’t stop this
I hate to quote Beenie Man, but Sim Seema
That’s the way that I flip it from from the beema
Day dayanoo, diggy dayanoo
Diggy, day, diggy, day, diggy dayanoo
Mazel tov if you think you’ve got skills
Or grab the Maneschewitz and head for the hills
Keep your head covered and don’t look back
I’m a bar mitzvah and the leader of the pack
Live from the Tanakh I keep heads turning
The light of the eternal flame’s still burning

(CHORUS)
(What) Chutzpah, I ’ve got Chutzpah
(Where) In your place is where I’m gonna put ya’
(What am I?) I’m a Jewish emcee that’ll always stay true
Baruch atah adonai elohaynu
(What) Chutzpah, I ’ve got Chutzpah
(Where) In your place is where I’m gonna put ya’
(What am I?) I’m a Jewish emcee that’ll always stay true
Shema Yisrael adonai elohaynu

Saturday minyan in the beginning
The heads of the haters just keep on spinning
Avinu Malchaynu, our father, our king
The man upstairs, who’s vibe I bring
I read from the Torah in Hebrew School
And keeping things kosher is the number one rule
Considered by some to be a mensch in the making
The getting is good so it’s good for the taking
Never been to Havdalah, but that’s ok
I keep a low profile and make no delay
So, when I make motzee and when I say kiddush
I read a little Hebrew and I drop a little Yiddush

(CHORUS)

Some years ago a friend of mine
Asked me to write some Jewish rhymes
So I wrote all about the Festival of Lights
And a star was born to give the crowd delight
I put the man in Maneschewitz and I thought you knew
The Brick Bulletin called me for an interview
So I told this reporter what I’m all about
And the story that ran helped my words get out
I’m the Jewish emcee in the place to be
Kid Kosher is the name most definitely
So act like you know when I enter the room
A Boom boom chacka lacka lacka lacka lacka boom

(CHORUS)
