[Shirona <shirona...>]

Here are the lyrics to this one...



SHVU BASUKKAH



Lyrics by Shirona



                              Music: Calypso - "Shake Senora" or "Jump in
the line"
Performed by Harry Belafonte





1.

Let's all build us a Sukkah  ( clap clap )

I tell you now it's a Mitzvah ( clap clap )

We'll fill it with decorations ( clap clap)

And give our praise to all G-d's creations



Shvu ba-sukkah,

Sit in your Sukkah ( I know, it's a Mitzvah )

Shvu ba-sukkah,

Sit in your Sukkah, ah, ah, and -



Shake, shake, shake your Lulav

Shake it up and down,

And shake, shake, shake your Lulav

Shake it all around



Hold, hold, hold your Etrog

In the other hand,

And shake, shake, shake your Lulav

Shake it all around



2.

Let's all sit in the Sukkah ( clap clap )

Together with the Mish-pa-cha ( clap clap )

We'll eat around a big table ( clap clap)

And even sleep there - if we are able



Shvu ba-sukkah, sit in your Sukkah.



And - Shake, shake, shake.

          Hold, hold, hold.

Shake it all around

Shake it all around

Shake it all around.        Yeah.
