Bag of Wolfson’s Bagels

Bag of Wolfson’s Bagels (Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy – Andrew Sisters)

He always went to school in Trumbull at the Jewish Day
He had a friendly smile, and had nice things to say
One day the teacher of his class
Announced “The blessings for food is your immediate task”
And so he took a breath and answered readily
I know a bag of Wolfson bagels’ blessing is hamotzie

He gotta bracha booklet and he did cram
Until he got it down from peanut butter to jam
Next day the teacher made him stand
And then he gave him a test, but all his friends were at hand
As every question came, he answered easily
And that a bag of Wolfson bagels’ blessing is hamotzie

A fruit, a fruit, a fruit is ha-etz
Shehakol a candy bar (You cannot stump him)
Cakes mezonot, ha’adama from the ground, wine is hagafen
The teacher jumps with joy, he answers easily
And a bag of Wolfson bagels’ blessing is hamotzie

He said the bag of Wolfson bagels blessing is hamotzie
And then he says Baruch Ato Hashem and ends it with hamotzie
As he recites it, all his friends join from near and afar
That a bag of Wolfson bagels’ blessing is hamotzie

A fruit is ha-etz, a fruit is ha-etz, borei pri ha-etz, shehakol for candy bars,
For cakes – mezonot, ha’adama for yams his friends say with him
Ha-ha-have a bracha question? He’ll say easily
That a bag of Wolfson bagels’ blessing is hamotzie

He practices the brachot every day and night
And you may try to stump him, but he’ll get it right
Whether potatoes or for meat
He knows just what he would say, for every beverage or treat
And he can tell you how it started easily
That a bag of Wolfson bagels’ blessing is hamotzie

Dat-da da-do-do da-dup (4x)
Ha-ha-have a bracha question? He’ll say easily
That a bag of Wolfson bagels’ blessing is hamotzie
