Return to main lyrics page Mitzvot & Mazel Tov (CHORUS) Hey bar mitzvah, let’s dance the horah Lead us in prayer and then read from the torah It’s a coming of age like never before Mitzvot and mazel tov, a celebration for sure Hey bat mitzvah, let’s dance the horah Lead us in prayer and then read from the torah It’s a coming of age like never before Mitzvot and mazel tov, a celebration for sure It’s a coming of age for girls and boys At age 13 everybody enjoys Called to the beema for your first alliyah Family and friends on hand just to see ya’ The Torah, haftorah, the sermon and the eulogy Things that determine, the person that we’re gonna be You study for years to reach this day To earn the rite of passage in the modern way A woman, a man, on this day I am Starts off the speech you recite as planned About your torah portion, the meaning to you Just how you plan on living your life as a Jew For better or for worse, adulthood begins No longer do your parents have to bear your sins So, nod your head and help spread the love The day is mitzvot and we say mazel tov (CHORUS) When you step to the ark please bear in mind This coming of age has changed over time A ceremony wasn’t needed to reach this phase It’s an automatic rite and doesn’t matter the place The 10 commandments you’ll now observe As a member of a minyan you now can serve Considered an adult by the virtue of age In your own book of life you can turn your own page A second lifetime and rite of age to see May we live long enough to reach 83 So, nod your head and help spread the love The day is mitzvot and we say mazel tov (CHORUS) Jam at the reception, the music is loud The DJ or the band is there to move the crowd Come on dance the horah and sit in the chair Wave your hands back and forth as you rise in the air Hold on very tight and enjoy the ride Your family and friends are on your side And when you light the candles, on your cake Be mindful of the choices in your life to make Give thanks to all those who helped along the way For you to reach today with plenty to say So, nod your head and help spread the love The day is mitzvot and we say mazel tov Circle to the left, everybody come on (3X) Come on everybody, let’s change direction Circle to the right, everybody come on (3X) Come on everybody, let’s change direction (CHORUS) Bar mitzvah, you know I’m witcha Bat mitzvah, you know I’m witcha (2X) Return to main lyrics page
