LYRIC
FLIPPIN’ OUT- Blue Fringe- Written by Dov Rosenblatt & Yitzy Spinner- My Awakening
VERSE 1:
Tell me if I’m wrong, but it happens a lot
Ben Yehuda on Erev Shabbat
I’m on my way to Meah Shearim
When suddenly I hear a high pitched scream.
I turn around to see what that could be
And then I notice two seminary
Girls
And they hug and shriek
‘Cuz they haven’t seen each other
For one whole week.
I start to think that girls are “gashmius”
I tell myself that I’m above that “shtus”
So I break up with her, my lifelong friend
כבוד הבריות is just pretend.
And now I’m thinking that I’m super “shtark”
Because I only wear white shirts and dark
Pants
And maybe a black hat, too
Now let me take a good look at you.
CHORUS 1:
I’m flippin’ out
And my rebbi’s “sheppin nachas”
I’m flippin’ out
But my parents will kick my “tuchas”.
(x2)
VERSE 2:
I just heard half hour halacha shiur
And decide to change the way I’ve lived for 18 years,
I fought with my parents that they’re incorrect
Well, what about “כיבוד אב ואם ” and a little respect?”
My parents ask, “Are you ever coming home?”
But I just ask them for loans,
Because money I only spend on Seforim
I got a ramban, ritvah, rashbah, and all the rishonim.
No more movies – “pritzus” city
No more english music ‘cuz she might be pretty,
Now it’s only Carlebach and Miami Boys
That’s all the stuff that I used to call noise.
I’m getting frummer, yeah I’m on my way
Just gotta learn all those catch phrases
That I’ll need to say,
Like “shkoyach” and “mestohmeh” too
‘Cuz I know if I don’t say them I’m not a frum Jew.
CHORUS 2:
I’m flippin out
And I never shave my face
I’m flippin’ out
‘Cuz I’m always in the “bais”
I’m flippin’ out
And I hardly take a shower
I’m flippin’ out
‘Cuz Israel has no water power!
I’m flippin’ out
Yeah, you’re “varfen up some s’voras”
I’m flippin’ out
Well I eat and sleep gemoras
I’m flippin’ out
Yeah, you think you can give shiur
I’m flippin’ out
But I’ve been “shteiging” for a year!
I’m flippin’ out
And now you only eat cholent
I’m flippin’ out
Well nothing rhymes with cholent!
I’m flippin’ out
And now you start to smoke
I’m flippin’ out
Yeah, this song is just a joke.
CHORUS 3:
I’m flippin’ out
And my rebbi’s “sheppin nachas”
I’m flippin’ out
But my parents will kick my “tuchas”.
(x2)
I’m flippin’ out!
