Jew Town (From John Saffrons Musical Jamboree) Lyrics

People often ask me
What's that cap up on your skull
I say the bible said to put one there
So I won't got to hell

And people step up to me
And they tell me 'Eat this pig'
But if the hooves aren't split,
Then it ain't legit
And that's how I choose to live

In a world of non-believers
Who drive on Saturday
Don't forget,
It's our day of rest
So when they ride past just look away

I'm not some big old Rabbi
In a black hat and a gown
But we are the youth
We can make a change
It's time to get on down

Chorus
I'm going down down down
Down to Jew'Town
What I gotta do now
Get down to Jew'Town


People frount and ask me
Why you read from right to left?
I say it's not that complicated
It's the Hebrew alphabet

And Christians want to ask me
How you different from our people?
I say I like Bible number one
But I will not touch the sequel

In this crazy mixed up world
Where sin is all the rage
You gotta take that Torah off the shelf
And read every page

Take what you learn in Synagogue
And spread the word down town
We're Jews from the streets
And we're kicking out beats
And it's time to get on down

Chorus
I'm going down down down
Down to Jew'Town

(On passover week
be carefull with wheat)

Down down down
Down to Jew'Town

(It's bread unleavened
Twenty-four seven)

Down down down, down to Jew'Town
