SAVE MAFTIR FOR ME- Country Yossi- Still On The Loose
(Parody of “Save the Last Dance for Me”- The Drifters- Composed By Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman)
Oh, you can give
Shlishi, Revi’i
To anybody you see-
That won’t bother me.
And you can give
Chamishi, Shishi
And even Shevi’i
To any family.
But don’t forget that this is the week
Of my Bar Mitzvah’s anniversary
So, Gabbai,
Save Maftir for me.
Oh, I know,
You don’t have to mention
All the choshuve menschen
That are sitting there.
And I know
There are Rabbis and Gabbais
And Talmidei Chachamim everywhere.
But don’t forget that this is the week
Of my Bar Mitzvah’s anniversary
So, Gabbai,
Save Maftir for me.
Oh, I never really ask for much
And I don’t mean to complain
But this haftorah is the only one
That I know how to lein.
So, you can give
Shlishi, Revi’i
To anybody you see-
That won’t bother me.
And you can give
Chamishi, Shishi
And even Shevi’i
To any family.
But don’t forget that this is the week
Of my Bar Mitzvah’s anniversary
So, Gabbai,
Save Maftir for me.
HIGH PART INSTRUMENTALLY
But don’t forget that this is the week
Of my Bar Mitzvah’s anniversary
So, Gabbai,
Save Maftir for me.
Oh, Gabbai,
Save Maftir for me.
Please, Gabbai,
Save Maftir for me.
Oh, Gabbai,
Save Maftir for me.
