RUNAROUND JEW- Country Yossi- Captured
(Parody of “Runaround Sue”- Dion- Composed By Dion DiMucci & Ernie Maresca)

Here’s my story, it’s strange but true
‘Bout a meshulech that I once knew
He took his pushka and ran around
To every single Shteeble in town.

Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele
Gitz.
(x2)

Early in the morning at the crack of dawn
He suddenly appears and then he’s gone
No matter where you daven, every Shteeble and Shul
You’re gonna see that runaround jew.
Dig into your pockets for some small change
He’s supernatural though it may sound strange
But listen people what I’m telling you
That meshulech is a holy Jew.

Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele
Gitz.

I wonder how he gets around, yeah
His feet, they never touch the ground
Now people listen what I say,
A-give him, Tzedaka every day.
Here’s the moral of the story from a guy who knows
Try to give him something before he goes
He might be Eliyahu Hanavi from above
Or maybe that meshulech is a Lamed Vav.

Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele (Yeah, give him something now)
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele (No matter what you do)
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele (He’s a holy jew)
Gitz.

Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele (C’mon, everybody)
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele (Gitz, gitz ah bissel Tzedaka)
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele (You know, that’s the right thing to do)
Gitz.

Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele (C’mon, everybody)
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele (Dig into those pockets)
Gitz, gitz,
Gitz ah bissele (Give a little change and get a big Mitzvah)
Gitz.
