Tu B’Av
TU B’AV
Parody of She Will Be Loved – MAROON 5
New Lyrics by Lenny Solomon
Binyamin was almost extinct he had to marry outside himself
They were so decreased in numbers they were allowed to get some help
Yeravam put guards and guards to stop us at your door
Each year we tried three times but now we’d go once more
They all reclined erev Tisha B’av day now there’d be mourning for the 15K
(God) Forgave us all spoke to Moses awhile
we made a feast to celebrate in style
Was on Tu B’AV, was On Tu B’AV
You wouldn’t know if they were rich or poor everyone would look beautiful
With borrowed clothes so you weren’t at all sure
who had less or who had more
In Nisan the rain goes and sun shines
the wood dries will last all year long yeah
My mitzvahs done and my axes are broken now
the sun declines must learn more yeah
They all reclined on erev Tisha B’av day
now there’d be mourning for the 15K
(God) Forgave us all spoke to Moses awhile
made a feast to celebrate in style
Was on Tu B’AV, Was On Tu B’AV (2x)
For years they were piled up high in Beitar
now they could bury them as they once were
The sages gave thanks to God for this all
so in our benching, added blessing number four, yeah
You wouldn’t know if they were rich or poor everyone would look beautiful
They all reclined on erev Tisha B’av day
now there’d be mourning for the 15K, ohh
(God) Forgave us all spoke to Moses awhile
made a feast to celebrate in style
Was on Tu B’AV, was On Tu B’AV (2x)
