DON’T BE A SHLOOMP- Abie Rotenberg & Moshe Yess- Marvelous Midos Machine, Episode 2
Don’t be a shloomp, don’t make a mess,
Don’t wipe those chocolatey hands on your dress,
Tie up those shoes, and tuck in and that shirt,
Go wash your hands and face, get rid of the dirt.
CHORUS:
You gotta be neat, you gotta be clean,
Let Mommy take a break from her washing machine,
And all Jewish children they will be known,
For Seder Venikayon.
Does Mom follow you with a mop and a pail,
‘Cause every which way that you go, you’re leavin’ a trail
And after you eat, does everyone know
‘Cause half the food is on the floor or on your clothes.
CHORUS:
You gotta be neat, you gotta be clean,
Let Mommy take a break from her washing machine,
And all Jewish children they will be known,
For Seder Venikayon.
And in the morning, does Mom blow her fuse,
When she hears her children cry, “We can’t find our shoes!”
Or when you go to your room and open the door,
There’s so many toys about, you can’t see the floor!
CHORUS:
You gotta be neat, you gotta be clean,
Let Mommy take a break from her washing machine,
And all Jewish children they will be known,
For Seder Venikayon.
