papas: who day and night must scramble for a living,
feed the wife and children,
say his daily prayers
and who has the right as master of the house
to have the final word at home?
the papas the papas, tradition
who must know the way to make a proper home
a quiet home, a kosher home?
who must raise a family and run the home
so papa's free to read the holy book?
the mamas the mamas tradition
sons: at three i started hebrew school
at ten i learned a trade.
i hear they picked a bride for me
i hope she's pretty.
