Lyrics:

When I was young all, of my friends were Jewish
When I was a boy, I was the only goy.
There were no lonelier days than Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah
I'd say to my mama about going to school, I don't wanna.

There were the Schwartzes, the Schiffs, the Goldstones, the Cohens and Scheinbergs
Don't forget the Adams, the Ahdoots and Pevneys too.
The Torellis and Briedises -- well, they were half.
But the better side, you know they spoke Hebrew.

In the suburbs of LA, where the streets were safe to play
For All that you knew, Hey! You might be Jewish too.

As we all got older, there came the Bar Mitzvahs
Baruch atah, HeSham Eloheinu
I was praying for a party like that of my own
Musicians, magicians, casinos, comedians and girls

We grew up to be the coolest guys in high school
Pretty much anyone had copied our homework
And cruisin' around in my friend's mom's Volvo
We'd roll by all the schmucks
In their lifted pickup trucks
And reach out our arms and shout, "Ben zona!"

If you look on google, and search for name.
The David Epstein band will come up
We played a gig at Shaloh House for Purim
Where I learned all of my favorite pizmonims

And we partied into the night
With a little too much Le Cheim
In moments like that. Hey! Hey! You might be Jewish too!

Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Yemenite or Georgian, Hacidic, Mountain, or Persian
Orthodox, Reform, Cultural or Floridan
There's one for you.
Oh, you might be Jewish Too!
