[HANASHIR:5108] Re: Kosher songs

[Judah Cohen <jcohen...>]

While I'm still looking for the lyrics for "Consider a Shrimp," I DID find
the lyrics to "Kosher," which is a parody of a Bruce Springsteen song
(though again I'm hard pressed to find out which one it is).

Enjoy!
Judah.

KOSHER (lyrics by Jeff Klepper & Pamela Gellen)

[Verse]
You gotta have a cloven hoof, you gotta chew your cud.
The bunny rabbit is a no-no, and so are piggies in the mud.
You cannot be a bird of prey, that is what the Rabbis say.
So when we eat--meat--it's kosher.

[Verse]
You fishies need a coat of scales, you gotta have a set of fins.
And if you are a crustacean, then brother you just don't fit in!
The word ka-sher means "fit," for you to gobble every bit.
So eat that fish--dish--it's kosher!

[Bridge:]
You might like the smell of bacon frying in the pan,
Or want to sink your teeth into a juicy clam.
I bought a weiner at the park, I thought it might be safe
But I heard a voice say: "That hot dog's trayf!"

[Verse]
I'm looking for the ketter "K," or else a "U" inside an "O."
And if I cannot find it, then right back on the shelf you go.
They say that it's a lot of fun, to be a vegetarian.
So when we nosh--squash--it's kosher.
So when we nosh--a McIntosh--it's kosher.
