Tevye & Papas
Who day and night Must scramble for a living,
feed a wife and children,
say his daily prayers;
and who has the right as master of the house,
to have the final word at home?
All
The papa, the papas... tradition
The papa, the papas... tradition
Golde & Mamas
Who must know the way to make a proper home,
a quiet home, a kosher home, |
|
So papa's free to read the holy book?
All
The mama, the mama... tradition
The mama, the mama... tradition
Sons
At three I started Hebrew school;
At ten I learned a trade;
I hear they picked a bride for me,
I hope... she's pretty.
Daughters
And who does mama teach
To mend and tend and fix
Preparing me to marry
