Ah, Men
Come on, tell me the story
Of the power and the glory
Of the dearest depiction
Of the dreary dereliction
Of the fantasy fiction
Of millennial friction
Of the haste and the taste
Of the human hour
Ah, men, women, children
And all the dogs under the table, if you're able
Eat your crumbs, lick your plate, say amen
It's oh so good, so very-very good
To say L'chaim! L'chaim!
Come on, tell me the tale
Of Yahweh's son on the hill
Watching the hubris of dominion
Playing the part of a minion
Making room for the sundry opinion
A peelin' them like an onion
A troublin' their serene certainty
With parables and uncleanliness
Ah, men, women, children
And all the dogs under the table, if you're able
Eat your crumbs, lick your plate, say amen
It's oh so good, so very-very good
To say L'chaim! L'chaim!
Give me the water-cooler conversation
Of the woman by the well
And all the gaudy gossip
Of the Messiah minus bucket
Of the proper place to worship
And the woman's dubious courtship
Why won't you drench your quench
With a bottomless cup?
Ah, men, women, children
And all the dogs under the table, if you're able
Eat your crumbs, lick your plate, say amen
It's oh so good, so very-very good
To say L'chaim! L'chaim!
Or, what about the one
About the woman about to be stoned
Who knows how men of kosher tact
Caught the couple in the act
But I love watching Jesus spelling in the sand
Every sin of the duty-bound men
And I love watching the oldest man
Crumble first, law's demand
With his tail between his legs
Ah, men, women, children
And all the dogs under the table, if you're able
Eat your crumbs, lick your plate, say amen
It's oh so good, so very-very good
To say L'chaim! L'chaim!
Give me the scandalous woman
Stripping Jesus of his sandals
Wasting away precious oil
Whilst the prudent men recoil
She's the one among us today
With the least to say
Bearing the body of her beauty
I take scorched hands out of pocket
Yearning to applaud
Ah, men, women, children
And all the dogs under the table, if you're able
Eat your crumbs, lick your plate, say amen
It's oh so good, so very-very good
To say L'chaim! L'chaim!
To say L'chaim!
Of the power and the glory
Of the dearest depiction
Of the dreary dereliction
Of the fantasy fiction
Of millennial friction
Of the haste and the taste
Of the human hour
Ah, men, women, children
And all the dogs under the table, if you're able
Eat your crumbs, lick your plate, say amen
It's oh so good, so very-very good
To say L'chaim! L'chaim!
Come on, tell me the tale
Of Yahweh's son on the hill
Watching the hubris of dominion
Playing the part of a minion
Making room for the sundry opinion
A peelin' them like an onion
A troublin' their serene certainty
With parables and uncleanliness
Ah, men, women, children
And all the dogs under the table, if you're able
Eat your crumbs, lick your plate, say amen
It's oh so good, so very-very good
To say L'chaim! L'chaim!

To say L'chaim! L'chaim!
To say L'chaim!
