Pirate Story
Three of us afloat in the meadow by the swing,
Three of us aboard in the basket on the lea.
Winds are in the air, they are blowing in the spring,
And waves are on the meadow like the waves there are at sea.
Where shall we adventure, to-day that we’re afloat,
Wary of the weather and steering by a star?
Shall it be to Africa, a-steering of the boat,
To Providence, or Babylon, or off to Malabar?
Hi! but here’s a squadron a-rowing on the sea—
Cattle on the meadow a-charging with a roar!
Quick, and we’ll escape them, they’re as mad as they can be,
The wicket is the harbour and the garden is the shore.
Hine ma tov
Lai lai lai ………
Hine ma tov umanayim
Shevetachim gam yachad.
Translation: Behold, how good it is for brethren to live together in peace.
Gently the river
- Gently and smoothly the river flows by,
- On it meanders ‘neath summer’s bright sky.
- Little fish are dancing, little fish are playing,
little fish are moving where the shadows lie.
- Leaping by the waterfall,
Hiding ‘neath the reeds so tall.
Tomorrow
The sun will come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinking about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck in a day that's grey, and lonely,
I just stick out my chin and grin, and say,
Oh the sun will come out tomorrow
So yagotta hang on'til tomorrow
Come what may,
1st time:Tomorrow!Tomorrow!I love ya tomorrow!
You're always a day away
2nd time:Tomorrow!Tomorrow!I love ya tomorrow!
You're only a day away!
