Archie & His Gang in: The Day of Atonement
I wanted a turtle real bad
I asked my old man
He said A man must go wanting
The value of a dollar is the truth
Can you earn it
Come to shul on Yom Kippur
Sit down stand up in scratchy clothes
And read from a book filled with words you don't know
And remember Treblinka
REMEMBER
YOU'RE WORSE THAN HITLER, DIG IT?
When the shofar blows, God knows, if He's listening
You can have a turtle
Tekiah!
Three turtles for twelve dollars down at Big Al's Aquarium Services
I named 'em after the characters in an Archie Comics Magazine
I put 'em in a tank on top of my dresser
I too am a turtle on top of my dresser
I suffer and move
I bask in the heat
I swim to the top for a raw piece of meat
And I sink when I'm sick
The Feeder is God—oh I hunger and long
And my turtle stopped breathing
And the shofar is blowing
I fear for you, Betty
I dream of you, Hitler
I sent my old man to the showers, I'm sorry
Shefarim!
It's 3AM on a Thursday night
I'm 15 on a Thursday night
I'm on mushrooms on a Thursday night
And the whole world is a turtle tank
I go to my room
I turn on the light
Look over at Archie it gives me a fright
Oh DAMN DADDY YUCK!
Archie is dead
HIS EYES ROLLED back in his head
Cold
Daddy DAMN!
Death is a bust
I remember Treblinka
I weep for you, Betty
I bag up my turtle (HEIL HITLER!)
I'm sorry
I'm dragging the shovel (Heil Hitler!)
I'm coming
I dig for you, Archie
I dig for you, Tatte (Heil Hitler!)
I'm sorry (Heil Hitler!)
I'm sorry
Entschuldig mir, Tatte, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Teruah!
In '99 my Daddy ain't fine
In 2010 man it happens again
The monitor's beeping
My mother is weeping
I dream of you Archie, your spoon, and your bread
I'm digging a hole, Veronica's dead
A capo's on guard at the foot of the bed Archie
I see your striped pyjamas Betty
I see your sunken eyes
The snow is crunching under my clogs
I'm digging a hole for Veronica Lodge
I'm torching the earth to soften the soil
Tekiah Gadola!
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I asked my old man

The value of a dollar is the truth
