Wrappin My Tefillin
Parody of Proud Mary – Creedence Clearwater Revival – 1969
Lift to the shul in the city
Going to the minyan by the light of day
And it only took one minute of strapping
Thanking God for giving us everything

Five Books we’ll keep on learnin’
Do Mitzvot – and keep on earning
Wrappin’, wrappin’, wrappin’ my Tefillin

Boarded many planes for business
Approached by some men from the NY scene
Whoever they saw they’re asking by committee
Would you like to put on these Tefillin?

Five Books we’ll keep on learnin’
Do Mitzvot – and keep on earning
Wrappin’, wrappin’, wrappin’ my Tefillin
Wrappin’, wrappin’, wrappin’ my Tefillin

If you come in to our minyan
Bet you gonna follow this directive
Don’t be in a hurry it’s not about the money
We all put on Tefillin and it’s helping us live

Five Books we’ll keep on learnin’
Do Mitzvot – and keep on earning
Wrappin’, wrappin’, wrappin’ my Tefillin
Wrappin’, wrappin’, wrappin’ my Tefillin
Wrappin’, wrappin’, wrappin’ my Tefillin
Wrappin’, wrappin’, wrappin’ my Tefillin
