Re: Puff The Kosher Dragon- Revisited

[Bob Wiener <wiener...>]

PUFF THE KOSHER DRAGON
CHORUS:
        Puff the kosher dragon lived in Palestine,
        And frolicked in the synagogue and drank Israeli wine.
        Little Rabbi Goldberg loved that kosher Puff,
        And fed him lox and matzah balls and other kosher stuff.

Then one day it happened Puff was eating pork
So little Rabbi Goldberg took that dragon for a walk.
Gently he explained that dragons don't eat meat
That comes from little piggies who have dirty filthy feet.

CHORUS

Then Puff became Barmitzvah, laid tefillin every day
Wrapped up in his tallit, that's the way he used to pray.
Made brochot before eating, benched after every meal
Imagine how religious it made that dragon feel.

CHORUS

Now Puff the kosher dragon found himself a bride;
Now little kosher dragons are his source of joy and pride.
They'll grow up doing mitzvot, learning Torah, praying too
And little Rabbi Goldberg teaches them what they should do.

CHORUS

Oh, you who may be listening may think I'm making fun
But deep down in this story is a moral for everyone.
If Puff can wear kippah, keep Torah and kosher too,
Then you can learn like Puff did how to be a real Jew.

I haven't checked the lyrics against the recording, but I found this online.
