Bar Yochai’s World
Parody of Brown Eyes Girl – Van Morrison

To Bnai Brak he did go,
he’d learn there each day.
Rav Akiva he’d follow,
soon Rav Shimon was heard to say,
If we do what G-d was asking,
a-learning and a-praying,
We won’t have to work for money, no…
Someone else would do the work for us in
Bar Yochai’s world, Rav Shimon Bar Yochai’s world.

His merit protected the world from a sorrow,
No one could harm us, his holiness did show.
While he was alive and breathing,
no need for the rainbow’s call.
You could here him saying the land of Yisrael has got it all,
In Bar Yochai’s world, Rav Shimon Bar Yochai’s world.

Chorus: God gave to all the Jews, al yidai yisurin-
Torah, The land of Yisrael and Olam Haba – Olam Haba.

He had to hide away with his son, they were all alone.
13 years they were in a cave,
hiding from the people of Rome.
Now we go to visit them in a place that’s called Meiron,
To Hashem above we’ll pray there,
and through his righteousness we will be in
Bar Yochai’s world,
Rav Shimon Bar Yochai’s world. Chorus…
