Abarbanel, we think your swell, Abarbanel
You got me yearning for the learning, reaching for the teaching.
Abarbanel ba ba ba ba banel.

Abarbanel, we think your swell, Abarbanel
You got me yearning for the learning, reaching for the teaching.
Abarbanel ba ba ba ba banel.

Went to a shiur
Thought it would be clear
Saw Abarbanel,
Now I’m learning for a year, Abarbanel

Abarbanel, we think your swell, Abarbanel
You got me yearning for the learning, reaching for the teaching.
Abarbanel ba ba ba ba banel.

Tried Kabbalah, Tried Agada,
Tried Abarbanel and it all began to Jell, Abarbanel
Abarbanel, we think your swell, Abarbanel
You got me yearning for the learning, reaching for the teaching.
Abarbanel ba ba ba ba banel.

Abarbanel, we think your swell, Abarbanel
You got me yearning for the learning, reaching for the teaching.
Abarbanel ba ba ba ba banel.

Abarbanel, Abarbanel, Abarbanel, Abarbanel 2x
You got me yearning for the learning, reaching for the teaching.
Abarbanel ba ba ba ba banel.
