MY YETZER HARA SAYS- Country Tossi- Lyrics By Yossi Toiv- Ohr Chodosh Vol. 3 & These I Remember
My Yetzer Hara says, don’t go to Minyan,
It’s so comfortable here in bed, and
My Yetzer Hara says, it’s cold and raining
And the pillow’s so warm on your head, and
My Yetzer Hara says, you’ll never make it,
Your eyes are so tired and red.
CHORUS:
And my Rosh Yeshiva says,
הַיּוֹם קָצֵר וְהַמְּלָאכָה מְרֻבָּה, please
הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא grant me the wisdom
And strength to do what is right
הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא lead me from darkness to light.
My Yetzer Hara says, don’t go to Yeshiva,
Don’t be cooped up there in school, and
My Yetzer Hara says, it’s hot and humid
So go spend the day at the pool, and
My Yetzer Hara says, no one will see you
So hurry and don’t be a fool.
CHORUS:
And my Rosh Yeshiva says,
הַיּוֹם קָצֵר וְהַמְּלָאכָה מְרֻבָּה, please
הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא grant me the wisdom
And strength to do what is right
הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא lead me from darkness to light.
My Yetzer Hara says, don’t go to sleep yet,
There’s good stuff tonight on TV, and
My Yetzer Hara says, watch Johnny Carson
And then there’s a movie ‘til 3, and
My Yetzer Hara says, don’t be uneasy,
You’ll wake up for Minyan, you’ll see.
CHORUS:
And my Rosh Yeshiva says,
הַיּוֹם קָצֵר וְהַמְּלָאכָה מְרֻבָּה, please
הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא grant me the wisdom
And strength to do what is right
הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא lead me from darkness to light.
