Speaking of songs about food. This one popped into my email last week for
the holidays. Passing it along. I think you all know the tune.

You Must Remember This...




    You must remember this,

 A bris is still a bris,
  A chai is just a chai.
  Pastrami still belongs on rye,
  As time goes by.

  With holidays in view,
  A Jew is still a Jew,
  On that you can rely.
  No matter if we eat tofu
  As hours slip by.

  Old shtetl customs, never out of date.
  All those potatoes mother has to grate.
  Honey, tsimus, latkes, chopped liver on our plate
  The best that gelt can buy.

  Some would send us to perdition,
  But we're strengthened by tradition,
  That no one can deny.
  We roam, but we recall our birthright,
  As time goes by.

  Dreidels and chocolate, never out of date.
  Ancient Jewish stories that we all relate.
  Blue-and-white giftwrap, everything that's great
And festive chazerai!


    It's still the same old Torah,

 It's still the same menorah,
  We've latkes still to fry.
  It's at yomtov when we feel most blessed,
  As time goes by.

                            A Happy and Healthy New Year!
