SHABBOS KODESH- Avraham Fried- Composed by Yom Tov Ehrlich, Translated by Rabbi Alter Eliyahu Friedman- Single 2024
Shabbos Kodesh, Shabbos Kodesh
Getting ready for Shabbos Kodesh
Happy and steady for Shabbos Kodesh,
Everyone’s busy, hustling and bustling
Here comes Shabbos Kodesh,
For such a guest, we do our best
Here comes Shabbos Kodesh!
Here comes Shabbos Kodesh!
The Tanoyim, the Amoraim
Hiney ma tov u’ma naim
What can I do for Shabbos Kodesh
Right on cue for Shabbos Kodesh,
With heart and soul, on a holy roll
Shabbos (Shabbos),
Rav Huna, a wick, lekavod Shabbos
Rava salts thick, lekavod Shabbos,
Rav Chisda lettuce rolls
Rav Zeida stokes the coals
Rav Nachman water holds, lekavod Shabbos,
Rav Safra in the kitchen, at his station
All lekavod Shabbos
With lots of love and anticipation
All lekavod Shabbos
All lekavod Shabbos.
Shabbos Kodesh, Shabbos Kodesh
Getting ready for Shabbos Kodesh
Happy and steady for Shabbos Kodesh,
Everyone’s busy, hustling and bustling
Here comes Shabbos Kodesh,
For such a guest, we do our best
Here comes Shabbos Kodesh!
Here comes Shabbos Kodesh!
This weekly high, it’s more than black tie
To the days of the week, we say goodbye
What can I do for Shabbos Kodesh
Fresh and new for Shabbos Kodesh,
Wash and dry, shop and buy
Shabbos (Shabbos),
Candles light, lekavod Shabbos
The house shining bright, lekavod Shabbos,
Clean and dust, the timer adjust
Scrape away the rust, lekavod Shabbos,
If you want to make your Eishes Chayil’s day
Lekavod Shabbos
Stay out of the kitchen, stay out of her way
All lekavod Shabbos
All lekavod Shabbos.
The balebuste, you can trust her
With all the strength that she can muster
What can I do for Shabbos Kodesh
Fresh and new for Shabbos Kodesh,
The Queen is coming, the house is humming
Oy Shabbos (Shabbos),
Challah in the oven, lekavod Shabbos
Kugels a dozen, lekavod Shabbos,
With her own two hands, nothing from the cans
All day she stands, lekavod Shabbos,
Everyone’s busy, hustling and bustling
Here comes Shabbos Kodesh,
For such a guest, we do our best
Here comes Shabbos Kodesh!
Shabbos, Shabbos Kodesh!
