Lyrics

Chaputzvah! Oh vey!
Butt mitzvah! That’s what I say!

There aren’t many Jews in my state
So I schmooze the shiksas I date
I can kvetch with the best of the bobes and mentschzes
Say “feh”to the goyem and yentes
Let us nosh on some latkes and leave all ours tsuris behind!
Stop schlepping those tschotskes or bupkis is all that you’ll find!

Shaputzvah! Oh vey!
Butt mitzvah! That’s what I say!

Nel blu, dipinto di blu! Felice di stare un Jew!

    About halfway through this my brain forgot what actual words are... brilliant as both a parody song AND a psych exam. Also, simultaneously raising and lowering the bar with "butt mitzvah"... so funny.

    Somehow the Italian made me laugh as much as the Yiddish!

    That's Chaputzvah would definitely work. I am pretty sure I collaborated on "That's Ebola" a while back, but it was "too soon" I am inordinately proud of "Butt mitzvah"

    This was the other tune I was thinking of doing instead of That's Amore. Glad I didn't -- this is great!
