The Fast Days of the Year
I Saw Her Standing There – The Beatles

Well it was Tammuz 17,
The Greeks broke through the seams,
This would begin the three weeks of despair,
I’ll never eat any of that food, on the fast days of the year.

On the ninth of Av we cried,
Because the meraglim lied,
And so many bad things would happen on that day,
I’ll never eat any of that food, on the fast days of the year.

Well one day after New Year, Tzom Gedalia’s here,
And Yom Kippur is not far behind.

Well make sure you don’t sleep late
on Asara B’Tevet,
And Esther fasted so we do on that day.
I’ll never eat any of that food,
on the fast days of the year.
