Re: Lyrics- Simchas Torah/Warshavsky

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

Bob,
You could try the Zemerl site, which is always a good bet for lyrics and
sound clips.  Under Simchas Torah there are listed 7, one is a dance,
not a song, and two have little to do with S. T.   Here is one of the
entries for "Kinder, mir hobn simkhes toyre" which has 3 verses.
Warshavsky ends his version with a repeat of the 1st verse:

http://campuscgi.princeton.edu/~klez/zemerl/show.pl?title=Simkhes+Toyre+%28Simkhat+Torah%29

If you really want all 10, I'll have to sit down and do a
transliteration.  Here is another Yiddish song I know for children, "A
fon mit a likhtl":

A fon (clap, clap, clap),
A fon (clap, clap, clap),
A fon mit a likhtl,
A fon (clap, clap, clap),
A fon (clap, clap, clap),
A fon mit a likhtl.

A fon mit a likhtl mit a roytn epl,
A tentsl mit di toyre,
A gezunt in der kepl.

A fon (clap, clap, clap),
A fon (clap, clap, clap),
A fon mit a likhtl,
A fon (clap, clap, clap),
A fon (clap, clap, clap),
A fon mit a likhtl.

You were not specific as to whether you were looking for Yiddish songs
or just S.T. songs in general.

Write me if you need my phone # to hear the tune.

Hope this is helpful.
