Pretty Fly For A Rabbi Lyrics - Running With Scissors - Weird Al Yankovic

(How ya doin' Bernie?) 

Oy vey, oy vey 

(How ya doin' Bernie?) 

Oy vey, oy vey 

(How ya doin' Bernie?) 

Oy vey, oy vey 

And all the goyim say, I'm pretty fly for a rabbi 

Meccha leccha hi, meccha hiney hiney ho 

Our temple's had a fair share of rabbis in the past 

But most of 'em were nudniks and none of 'em would last 

But our new guy's real kosher, I think he'll do the trick 

I tell ya, he's to die for he really knows his shtick 

So how's by you? Have you seen this Jew? 

Reads the Torah, does his own accounting too 

Workin' like a dog at the synagogue 

He's there all day, he's there all day

Just say, "Vay iz mir" and he'll kick into gear 

He'll bring you lots of cheer 

And maybe bagels with some shmear 

Just grab your yamulkah and hey, hey, do that Hebrew thing 

(How ya doin' Bernie?) 

Oy vey, oy vey 

(How ya doin' Bernie?) 

Oy vey, oy vey 

(How ya doin' Bernie?) 

Oy vey, oy vey 

And all the goyim say, I'm pretty fly 

(For a rabbi) 

He shops at discount stores, not just any will sufice 

He has to find a bargain,'cause he won't pay retail price 

He never acts meshugga and he's hardly a schlemiel 

But if you wanna haggle, oh, he'll make you such a deal 

Photos 

People used to scoff, now they say, "Mazel tov" 

He's such a macher 'cause he worked his tuchis off 

Yeah, he keeps his cool and teaches shul 

What's not to like? What's not to like? 

On high holy days, you know he prays and prays 

And he never eats pastrami on white bread with mayonnaise 

Put on your yamulkah and hey, hey, do that Hebrew thing 

When he's doing a Bar Mitzvah, now that you shouldn't miss 

He'll always shlep on down for a wedding or a briss 

They say, he's got a lot of chutzpah, he's really quite chip 

The parents pay the moyal and he gets to keep the tip 

(How ya doin' Bernie?) 

Oy vey, oy vey 

(How ya doin' Bernie?) 

Oy vey, oy vey 

(How ya doin' Bernie?) 

Oy vey, oy vey 

Meccha leccha hi, meccha meccha cholly ho 

He's doin' well, I gotta kvell 

The yentas love him, even shicksas think he's swell 

Show up at his home, he says,"Shalom" 

And "Have some cake, you want some cake?" 

Yah, he calls the shots, we really love him lots 

Oy gevalt, I'm so ferklempt that I could plotz 

So grab your yamulkah, the one you got for Chanukah 

Let's put on our yamulkah and hey, hey, do that Hebrew thing
