I WROTE THIS
SONG FOR MY DAUGHTER TO SING AT HER BAT MITZVAH RECEPTION IN LIEU OF A TRADITIONAL "CANDLE-LIGHTING"
(sung to the tune of
"I've Got The Sun in the Morning" from ANNIE GET YOUR GUN)
Got no diamond, got no pearl,
Still I think
I’m a lucky girl
I’ve got the sun in the morning
and the moon at night.
Got no matzah or matzah brie,
But I’m so happy that I could cry
I’ve got a service in the morning and a party till 5.
(Chorus:)
Welcome to my most special day.
So glad you could come all this way!
Got no kishka, got no petchah
But
I’ve got guests here from near and far
I’ve got the Wades flown from London
And the Fishers by car.
Got no bagels, got no lox,
But I’ve got Grandma Bunnie, who really rocks,
Aunt Karen, Uncle Joely,
Cousins Charlie
and Suze!
(Chorus)
Welcome to my most special day.
So glad you could come all this way!
Got no egg cream or Cel-Ray soda
But I’ve got the Hurwitzes from Minnesota
And the Wurzels from Avon
And the Bloomfield Blums
