LYRIC
DAVID COHEN’S BAR MITZVAH- Sung & Composed by Moshe Yess- Megama Duo Debut (1980)
VERSE 1:
The Cadillacs were all lined up in the driveway,
Minks of many colors were on display,
The caterer was the best that money can buy,
It was David Cohen’s bar mitzvah day,
It was David Cohen’s bar mitzvah day.
Uncle Abe flew in from Cincinnati,
Aunt Becky drove up from Miami Beach,
The rabbi was watching with a tear in his eye,
As David Cohen read his bar mitzvah speech,
As David Cohen read his bar mitzvah speech.
CHORUS:
I want to thank the rabbi, my mother and my father,
Today, I am a man by Jewish law,
I accept all of my Jewish obligations,
I acknowledge that there is only one G-d,
I acknowledge that there is only one G-d.
VERSE 2:
That was the last time David Cohen saw a rabbi,
And his Tallis and his Tefillin, they got lost,
He’s now a lawyer up in Sacramento,
And looking back, it wasn’t worth the cost
Looking back, it wasn’t worth the cost.
CHORUS:
I want to thank the rabbi, my mother and my father,
Today, I am a man by Jewish law,
I accept all of my Jewish obligations,
I acknowledge that there is only one G-d,
I acknowledge that there is only one G-d.
