CAUSE I’M A JEW- Country Yossi- Wanted
(Originally I Walk the Line- Sung & Composed By Johnny Cash)

———————————————————————————
I wear a kippah on this head of mine.
I daven Mincha in the proper time.
And by Havdalah in my pockets I put wine,
Cause I’m a Jew, I do that too.

I put my Shlock down when it starts to rain.
I shake a Lulav, which my neighbors think insane,
I like to bury my gefilte fish in chrein,
Cause I’m a Jew, I do that too.
———————————————————————————
CHORUS:
Cause I’m a Jew, cause I’m a Jew,
Because the Torah tells me to I do that too,
I do the strangest things a man could ever do,
Cause I’m a Jew, I do that too.
———————————————————————————
Oh, there are times when I where sneakers with my suit,
And I must confess that it looks rather cute,
And there is a time when we must send each other fruit…
Cause I’m a Jew, I do that too.

Oh, once a year I twirl a chicken over my head,
And it wouldn’t be that bad if it were dead,
And there’s a time when I go outside and burn my bread,
Cause I’m a Jew, I do that too.
——————————————————————————–
CHORUS:
Cause I’m a Jew, cause I’m a Jew,
Because the Torah tells me to I do that too,
I do the strangest things a man could ever do,
Cause I’m a Jew, I do that too.
———————————————————————————
Oh, once a month I go outside and bless the moon,
And once a year I have to eat all afternoon,
And there’s a time a pound my chest and sing a tune,
Cause I’m a Jew, I do that too.

On Pesach I will drink four cups of wine, it’s true,
And then eat Matzah till I have no strength to chew,
Then I eat horseradish until I am turning blue,
Cause I’m a Jew, I do that too.
———————————————————————————
CHORUS:
Cause I’m a Jew, cause I’m a Jew,
Because the Torah tells me to I do that too,
I do the strangest things a man could ever do,
Cause I’m a Jew, I do that too.
