Intro:
(Fiddler on the roof playing)
Mazel tov? mazel tov my right shnukel
Jew pac kosher- bring da noise
ja ja-ja ja ja jewish
never been anything other then Jewish
back in the day me homie, yoseph an I
we got taught to honor parents, and never lie
they taught us about Moses and the evil pharaoh
running around the desert I heard escape was narrow
I got real caught up in jew shit- you know doing good deeds
sooner then I know I got my portion to read
after the bar mitzvah I got cash in town,
Saturday nights the party we jews know how to get down
limbo games chicken dance and my DJ' spinning
Jewish foods jewish cloths and those jewish women
(Corus)
I'm living life on the east side
Growin up jew
cut my challah wit a big knife
growin up jew
when the holy ones my main dog
growin up jew
Im the king of the synagogue
growing up jew
but long since then since I dropped my yamaka
I only stick around for presents on the eight days of Hanukkah
and not to long ago to my mamas horror
I said I dont like temple, and I don't like torah
I wouldnÕt say she was shocked, or even amazed
she just said with a sigh "Oy you boys these days
but I still got mad relatives grab my cheeks and speak Yiddish
I still know the prayers and I still know the kiddish
I'll never forget those days cause I aint no Foo
and I'll still go to temple cause my drug dealers a Jew
(Corus)
I'm living life on the east side
Growin up jew
cut my challah wit a big knife
growin up jew
when the holy ones my main dog
growin up Jew
IÕm the king of the synagogue
growing up Jew
my rabbi knows
shit even I know
I put the jew in jewlry I was made to shine
Made to eat latkes made to praise divine
IÕm a bad jewish gangster but my rabbi never know
ItÕs not thou shall not deal so IÕm raking in dough
But once now and again a commandment must be broken
I aint scared to leave you cold with your words half spoken
God forbid it ever has to come to that
You just keep paying the bills and not playing a rat
(Corus)
I'm living life on the east side
Growin up jew
cut my challah wit a big knife
growin up jew
when the holy ones my main dog
growin up jew
Im the king of the synagogue
growing up jew
