There’s No Business Like Shul Business
There’s No Business Like Show Business (Annie Get Your Gun)

The Cantors, the Rabbi’s, the Torah, the crowds
The congregants that get to shul at dawn
The minyan, the gabbai, the pulpit, the sounds
The beggars looking with their outstretched arms
The shammos, and the Hallel done so well
The scowls, cause when you talk so loud they yell

There’s no business like shul business like no business I know
If it’s yizkor we will be appealing
We’re asking our dear Rabbi please allow
I wont care if you need me for leining
Wont be complaining cause I know how

There’s no people like shul people the aisle really will flow
Energy surrounds you – so you don’t go far
Asked you to open the Torah Ark
I see they’ve dedicated a David’s Star
Let’s go down to the shul

The kugel, the greenery, the mussaf, the lox
The ambience that takes away your frown
The Kaddish, the kiddush, the yohrzeit, the shnopps
The sermon that inspires and astounds
The opening when the Kor-ban-ot are done.
The closing when we sing Adon Olam

There’s no business like shul business like no business I know
You just heard an old soul has departed
And a brand new baby has been born
Time to get the preparations sorted
To help the people carry on.

There’s no people like shul people they help everyone grow
Bagels and some Herring at the bris of Zack
At the end the chairs we’ll stack
We’re gonna honor Manny so please put up the plaque
Let’s go down to the shul

There’s no business like shul business if you tell me it’s so
Tehillim with the Chazan is uplifting
Selichot after midnight saturday night
Knowing that the whole kahal is giving
Cause we are living the Jewish life

There’s no people like shul people the aisle really will flow
Even when the Torah scroll must be rolled
The stain glass windows are a sight to behold
Can’t wait to see how this week’s portion will unfold
Let’s go down to the shul – let’s go down to the shul!
