N.C And all the goyim say I’m pretty fly for a rabbi x 3 Meccha leccha hi meccha hiney hiney ho [Verse 1] Our temple’s had a fair share of rabbis in the past But most of ’em were nudniks and none of them 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! [Chorus] So how’s by you? Have you seen this Jew? Reads the Torah does his own accounting too! Working like a dog at the synagogue He’s there all day he’s there all day Just say "Vey iz mir!" and he’ll kick into gear He’ll bring you lots of cheer And maybe bagels with some shmeer    So grab your yarmulke And hey hey! Do that Hebrew thing! [Intro] 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 [Verse 2] He shops at discount stores not just any will suffice 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 oy he’ll make you such a deal! [Chorus] People used to scoff now they say "Mazel tov!" He’s such a macher ’cause he works 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 yarmulke And hey hey! Do that Hebrew thing! [Bridge] 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 hhhip The parents pay the moyl and he gets to the keep the tip! [Intro] 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 [Chorus] He’s doing well! I gotta kvell! The yentas love him even shiksas think he’s swell Shows up at his home and says "Shalom!" And "Have some cake!  You want some cake?" Yeah he calls the shots We really love him lots! Oy gevalt I’m so ferklempt that I could plotz    So grab your yarmulke    The one you got for Hanukkah    Let’s put on our yarmulkes And hey hey! Do that Hebrew thing!

Cette chanson évoque un rabbin qui se démarque par sa personnalité charismatique et sa façon originale de servir sa communauté. Au lieu d'être un rabbin ennuyeux, il est engagé, pratique, et sait joindre l'utile à l'agréable. Les membres de la synagogue l’aiment, et même ceux qui ne sont pas juifs l'apprécient pour son humour et sa compétence. Entre des descriptions de ses manières de faire, de sa vie de tous les jours et de son rôle lors des cérémonies, l’artiste met en avant sa capacité à allier tradition et modernité, tout en restant accessible et joyeux. C’est une façon légère de célébrer la culture juive et de montrer qu’un rabbin peut être à la fois spirituel et amusant.
