My Zaidy (Live Session)

He was thinking about his Zaidy
He wrote the song
You never know the power of a Zaidy
Look what this Zaideh did for Moshe Yess
He's thinking about him
What this Zaideh wanted for his future generations
Givalt givalt

Did I do that right
My Zaidy lived with us in my parent's home
He used to laugh he'd put me on his knee
And he spoke about his life in Poland
And he spoke but with a bitter memory

And he spoke about the soldiers who would beat him
They laughed at him they tore his long black coat
And he spoke about a synagogue that they burnt down
And the crying that was heard beneath the smoke

But Zaidy made us laugh
Zaidy made us sing
Zaidy made a Kiddush Friday night yeah
And Zaidy oh my Zaidy how I loved him so
Zaidy used to teach me wrong from right

But Zaidy made us laugh
Zaidy made us sing
Zaidy made a Kiddush Friday night
And Zaidy oh my Zaidy how I loved him so
Zaidy used to teach me wrong from right

His eyes lit up when he would teach me Torah
He taught me every line so carefully
And he spoke about our slavery in Egypt
And how G-d took us out and made us free

But Winter went by
Summer came along
I went to Camp to run and play
And when I came back home they said Zaidy's gone
And all his books were packed and stored away

I don't know how or why it came to be
It happened slowly over many years
We just stopped being Jewish like my Zaidy was
And no one cared enough to shed a tear

And many Winters went by
Many summers came along
And now my children sit in front of me givalt
And who will be the Zaidy of my children
Who will be the Zaidy if not me
And who will be the Zaidy of our children
Who will be the Zaidy if not we

But Zaidy made us laugh
Zaidy made us sing
And Zaidy made a Seder Pesach Night
And Zaidy oh my Zaidy how I loved him so
Zaidy used to teach me wrong from right

Zaidy made us laugh
Zaidy made us sing
And Zaidy made a Kiddush Friday Night
And who will be the Zaidies of our children
Who will be the Zaidies if not we

L'chaim

But Zaidy made us laugh
You can keep going baby
Zaidy made a Kiddush Friday night yeah
And Zaidy oh my Zaidy how I loved him so
Zaidy used to teach me wrong from right

Zaidy made us laugh
Zaidy made us sing
Zaidy made a Kiddush Friday night oh
And Zaidy oh my Zaidy how I loved him so
Zaidy used to teach me wrong from right

Mamesh a givalt
Wait can we do that chorus one more time
1 2 3 GO

Mamesh a givalt
