    Hi to all,
     
    I have a cute Sukkot song, something I wrote last year for my students. 
(This time I wrote the lyrics, not the music). CALYPSO ! It'll get them jumping.
    
    Music: Harry Belafonte's "Jump in the line"  (shake, shake shake 
Sinora....remember Beetlejuice?)
    Lyrics: Shirona
     
    Shake, shake, shake your Lulav
    Shake it up and down
    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
    
    1.
    Lets all build us a Sukkah   (clap clap)
    I tell you now it's a Mitzvah   (  "       "   )
    We'll fill it with decorations
    And give our praise to all God's creations
    
        Shvu baSukkah                                                X
        Sit in the Sukkah  ( I know, it's a Mitzvah!)    X2
     
    Shake, shake, shake...
     
    2.
    Let's all sit in the Sukkah
    Together with the Mishpacha
    We'll eat around a big table
    and even sleep there, if we are able
     
        Shvu baSukkah                                             X
        Sit in the Sukkah  ( I know. it's a Mitzvah)   X2
     
    If anyone needs help with the melody, call me at 914-967-4338. The song is 
on Harry Belafonte's all time greatest hits, Vol. 1.
     
    Hope you enjoy!
