LYRIC

THE COVER OF THE JEWISH PRESS- Country Yossi- Captured
(Parody of “The Cover of Rolling Stone”- Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show- Composed By Shel Silverstein)

PRELUDE:
Hey, Country, tell them who we are…

Well, we’re Jewish country singers
We got golden fingers
And we love everywhere we go (sounds like us)
We sing about Cholent and we sing about Shteebles
And we pack ‘em in at every show.

We gotta everything that (a) fame could bring
Just one thing’s missin’, I guess,
Yeah, we keep getting’ richer
But we can’t get our picture
On the cover of the Jewish Press.

CHORUS:
Jewish Presss- gonna see ma picture on the cover
Press- gonna buy 5 copies for ma mother
Press- gonna see ma smilin’ face
On the cover of the Jewish Press.

Well, we’re big and famous
Every kid can name us
And you know we like it that way
They play our songs on the radio
Every night and day.

Yeah, all are records are gold
And all the tapes have been sold
We’ve been signed by CBS
And we keep getting’ richer
But we can’t get our picture
On the cover of the Jewish Press.

CHORUS:
Jewish Presss- gonna see ma picture on the cover
Press- gonna buy 5 copies for ma mother
Press- gonna see ma smilin’ face
On the cover of the Jewish Press.

Well, we thank Hashem many times a day
For everything we got
And we try to give so others can live
‘cause we know we got a lot.

But I still say, I would give it all away
‘Cause I could do with less
Yeah, I’d trade ma place
If I could git ma face
On the cover of the Jewish Press.

CHORUS:
Jewish Presss- gonna see ma picture on the cover
Press- gonna buy 5 copies for ma mother!
Press- gonna see ma smilin’ face
On the cover of the Jewish Press.
On the cover of the Jewish Press.

Oh, man… I could just see it now.
I’d be smilin’… ohhhh, gevaldig!!!!
