23. Can’t Take My Whips Off of You

to the tune of "Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You" as performed by the Four Seasons (Jersey Boys)

You’re such a hard working Jew.

Can’t take my whips off of you.

Go eat some leaven for lunch.

You Jews are such an odd bunch!

Your first born sons can’t survive.

But I thank gods you’re alive.

You’re just a hard work working Jew. Can’t take my whips off you.

Pardon the way that I act.

But you must know it’s a fact.

Every new slave that I own

Helps me to prop up my throne.

I’ll never let you go free.

You’ll never cross the Red Sea.

You’re such a hard working Jew. Can’t take my whips off of you.

I own you Hebrews, and if it’s quite alright

I need you Hebrews, to work all day and night.

I own you Hebrews. Trust in me when I say.

Hard working Hebrews, no matter how you pray,

The God you pray to won’t let you run away.

Oh, let me own you, Hebrews, Let me own you. You’re such a hard working Jew.
