I WOKE UP FEELIN GOOD
AND THE MORNIN JUST GOT BETTER
I TAPED A STAR OF DAVID
ONTO MY SWEATER
I WENT OUT FOR A WALK
MY NEIGHBORS SAID SHALOM TO ME
NOW THAT JEW IS MY NATIONALITY

I’VE STARTED QUOTING TALMUD
CAUSE SOMETIMES THE SPIRIT HITS YA
I HAVEN’T WORN A YARMULKE
SINCE PROBLY MY BAR MITZVAH
I WRAP TEFILLIN NOW, I’M KVELLING LOOK AT ME
NOW THAT JEW IS MY NATIONALITY

I CHANGED THE FLAG THAT HANGS ON MY PORCH, TRA LA
THE STARS WENT FROM 5 POINTS TO 6—ALIYAH!

BEFORE THE GAME I USED TO SING THE ANTHEM, STRONG AND PROUD
NOW I SING GO DOWN MOSES REALLY LOUD
GAVE UP NOTRE DAME, RAH RAH YESHIVAH UNIVERSITY
NOW THAT JEW IS MY NATIONALITY

BY THE DAWN’S L’CHOIRA
OH SAY CAN YOU SEE
NOW THAT JEW IS MY NATIONALITY
