THE ZERIZUS SONG- Marvelous Midos Machine- Composed By Abie Rotenberg- Episode 2
I’m too tired, I’m too busy, Oy I’ve got these aches and pain,
And I just can’t do it, I can’t do it today.
Oy, I’m hungry, I’m so thirsty, Look outside; it’s gonna rain,
And I just can’t do it now.
CHORUS:
Zerizim Makdimim Lemitzvohs,
All good deeds should be done right away,
The Torah says that you should show
You’re happy to get up and go,
Don’t put off till tomorrow something you can do today.
It’s too hot, I’m much too cold, I’m in the middle of a game,
And I just can’t do it, I can’t do it today.
I need help, it’s not my chore, I just got off the train,
And I just can’t do it now.
CHORUS:
Zerizim Makdimim Lemitzvohs,
All good deeds should be done right away,
The Torah says you shouldn’t shirk!
Roll up your sleeves and get to work!
Don’t put off till tomorrow something you can do today.
Why the big rush? What’s the hurry? Oh, don’t tell me it can’t wait,
And I just can’t do it it, I can’t do it today,
I’m still resting, I’m relaxing, it’s already much too late,
And I just can’t do it now.
CHORUS:
Zerizim Makdimim Lemitzvohs,
All good deeds should be done right away,
Hashem will always know the truth,
And laziness is no excuse,
Don’t put off till tomorrow something you can do today.
So be on time instead of late!
Zerizim never hesitate!
Don’t put off till tomorrow!
Don’t put off for an hour!
Just do it right away…
