One of mine - enjoy! (and remember......)

Amazing Schmaltz (to the tune of -  you guessed it - "Amazing Grace.")

Amazing schmaltze, how sweet the taste
'My Bubbe made for me
'Twas chopped liver first, gefilte fish, the worst
Such pungent memories

'Twas schmaltz we'd rend, from a zaftig hen
To keep our latkees crisp
Sour cream so cool, applesauce, what gruel
Such pleasure on our lips

Kneidle soup, we'd hope
Those balls would float
In schmaltz that we adored
Please pass the matzoh brie
Oy, vey, I could die
In an hour we'll have more

But in this age, cholesterol is gaged
It's far too high to believe
Matzoh brie's now cooked in Pam?
Eggbeaters? fill the pan
Now we can only grieve

Amazing schmaltze, how sweet the taste
'My Bubbe made for me
'Twas chopped liver first, gefilte fish, the worst
Such pungent memories
