Words: The Shleps Music: Sonny Bono
The Lord said to Abram, You must go
Leave your land, don't say no
I will bless them that bless you
And curse those that curse you too
Abe, I want you Abe
Be a Jew Abe
So Abe packed up and off they went
With wives and slaves and plenty of tents
He even took his nephew Lot
Lot's flocks and herds
He sure had a lot
Abe, I want you Abe
Be a Jew Abe
He went to Egypt in the spring
He said Sarah take off your ring
And when they ask to who you're bound
Say to no one, but don't fool around
To tell a lie was Abe wrong?
Or was he smart cause Pharoah was so strong
Then with Lot to the Negev they climbed
Pick your parcels, the rest will be mine
Abe, I want you Abe
Be a Jew Abe
Lot went to Sodom where men hold hands
Abe went south to graze the land
Lot saw things you should not see
Abe grew in God, a tzaddik was he
Abe got Hagar to kiss good night
Because of that the Jews still fight
Ishmael and Yitzak brothers you know
There offspring still are foes
Be a Jew Abe
