Why Must I Wave My Etrog and Lulav
(sung to "why must I be a teenager in love")

Oooo wah-ooo (etc., 2x)
In Autumn every year (wah - ooo) when leaves begin to fall
We dwell in tabernacles (wah - ooo) with temporary walls
Each year I ask the stars up above
Why must we wave the Etrog and the Lulav?


When I was very young (wah - ooo) I understood it not
Why we wave them to and fro (wah - ooo) sometimes even on Shabbat?

Each year I ask .....

 First east, then south
Then west and north
Up and down and all around
We shake it back and forth

We take the palm and myrtle (wah - ooo) a willow branch or two
And bind them all together (wah - ooo) and take an etrog too

Each year I ask .....

This year I'll learn
I'll make a plan
To walk into my Sukkah
With a lulav in my hand

And I'll look forward every year, when all the leaves turn brown
>From every Sukkah on my block, We'll hear that rustling lulav sound

Each year I ask .....
