Lyrics:
It looks so good
I know I could
In all likelihood
I know I would
(I mean)
Why should I not
I like it a lot
If it’s not forbidden
Then I’ll give it a shot
Cookies, ice cream cake
A marinated stake
Hustling, guzzling every moment I am awake
Itโs just how my life is
I give in to my taivos
See it, gotta eat it
Tell me, why should I not try this?
Listen my friend
You gotta transcend
A chossid knows his gashmius
Is means to an end
Hereโs how to grow
You just say “No!”
Face that taivo with some gaivo
Get it to go!
Chorus:
ืืืืก ืืขื ืืืจ ื ืื ืืืจ ืืขื ื ืื
ืืื ืืืืก ืืขื ืืขื ืืืจืฃ ืืขื ื ืื
Just because you could
It doesn’t mean you should
Iskafya is a taivo you withstood (-x2)
Know that a desire
Is a chance for reaching higher
To control our Beheima we aspire
Know that a desire
Is a chance for reaching higher
Now letโs hear this song once more from the choir
It looks so good
I know I could
In all likelihood
I know I would
Why should I not
I like it a lot
If it’s not forbidden
Then I’ll give it a shot
A luxury car
A hand-rolled cigar
Fashion with a passion, spending cash in a bar
A private jet
And donโt forget
The latest model gaming set
Iโll take whatever I can get
If itโs permitted – you bet!
Listen, my friend
You gotta transcend
A chossid knows his gashmius
Is means to an end
Hereโs how to grow
You just say “No!”
Face that taivo with some gaivo
Get it to go!
ืืืืก ืืขื ืืืจ ื ืื ืืืจ ืืขื ื ืื
ืืื ืืืืก ืืขื ืืขื ืืืจืฃ ืืขื ื ืื
Just because I could
It doesn’t mean I should
Iskafya is a taivo I withstood (-x2)
I know a desire
Is my chance for reaching higher
To control my Beheima I aspire
I know a desire
Is my chance for reaching higher
Letโs give it up for the Tomchei Temimim Choir!
