Shtetl Neshume

Like every Jewish meydl

I dream of a wedding where people dance like dreydls

Come get me a fiddler on the roof

So I can dance to my favorite groove

Please take me back the old country was divine
I wanna do the bottle dance, wanna spill the wine

Throw your hands up to the heavens way up high

Borekhhabe shtetl friends, our party never ends

Ikh bin a shtetl neshume, a Jew from yesterday

I should have been a frume, my hashtag is oy vey

I dig the heimish vibe, I get all sentimental

When I think of my tribe, oh I wanna be the new yentl

Have you been to Gottlieb's diner

Its like you bubbe's kitchen, let's face it not much finer

When I walk into that palace of good taste

Give schnitzel and pastrami to fatten up my waist

Who needs gluten free cake if we have knish

Screw vegan tofu cheese we love gefilte fish

Come join my table if you like to schmooze Yiddish

Raise your glass l'chaim, it's time to make the Kiddush
Ikh bin a shtetl neshume, a Jew from yesterday
I should have been a frume, my hashtag is oy vey
I dig the heimish vibe, I get all sentimental
When I think of my tribe, oh I wanna be the new yentl

I'm a shtetl neshume from Vilna or Pinsk

I hear a shtetl melody with tears I get rinsed

I'm a ninetees baby got the soul fun an altn yid

They say I'm crazy cause tradizie is what I need

Ikh gey in di gasn fun Williamsburg and Boroughpark
Mayn harts klapt vild in ikh fil azoy shtark
Dos is mayn heym, dos zenen mayne fraynd
Rakatakataka, one of a kind
Shtetl neshume the shtreimal's my flame

Nu vus iz dayn nomen meydele sheyns
Shtetl neshume the shtreimal's my flame

Rebbetzin Lea is my name

Ikh bin a shtetl neshume, a Jew from yesterday

I should have been a frume, my hashtag is oy vey

I dig the heimish vibe, I get all sentimental

When I think of my tribe, oh I wanna be the new yentl
