THOSE WERE THE DAYS- Country Yossi- Ohr Chodosh Vol. 3 & These I Remember (Parody of “Those Were The Days”- Eugene Raskin- Composed By Boris Fomin)

Once upon a time in ancient Egypt,
Moses asked that all the Jews go free,
But Pharaoh and his armies were so stubborn,
They ended up beneath the churning sea.

CHORUS:
Those were the days, my son, when we were number one,
We had no fear, for Torah led the way,
But my friends, do not despair, Moshiach’s almost here,
And we’ll be number one again someday.
Hashem melech, Hashem muluch,
Hashem yimloch leolam va’ed.
Hashem melech, Hashem muluch,
Hashem yimloch leolam va’ed.

The Philistines were arrogant and mighty,
And they would not leave the Jews alone,
Samson would not tolerate such Chutzpah,
He crushed them in a hail of falling stone.

CHORUS:
Those were the days, my son, when we were number one,
We had no fear, for Torah led the way,
But my friends, do not despair, Moshiach’s almost here,
And we’ll be number one again someday.
Hashem melech, Hashem muluch,
Hashem yimloch leolam va’ed.
Hashem melech, Hashem muluch,
Hashem yimloch leolam va’ed.

Haman was a big-shot down in Persia,
He had the perfect plan but he forgot
Mordechai and Esther had connections
They hung him and he hung there with his plot.

CHORUS:
Those were the days, my son, when we were number one,
We had no fear, for Torah led the way,
But my friends, do not despair, Moshiach’s almost here,
And we’ll be number one again someday.
Hashem melech, Hashem muluch,
Hashem yimloch leolam va’ed.
Hashem melech, Hashem muluch,
Hashem yimloch leolam va’ed.

And so, my friend, the torch of hope is burning,
Hold it high and never let it drop,
And when we’re number one again, remember,
It’s Torah that has brought us to the top.

CHORUS:
Those were the days, my son, when we were number one,
We had no fear, for Torah led the way,
But my friends, do not despair, Moshiach’s almost here,
And we’ll be number one again someday.
Hashem melech, Hashem muluch,
Hashem yimloch leolam va’ed.
Hashem melech, Hashem muluch,
Hashem yimloch leolam va’ed.
