Rebbetzin Tap & Friends (Theme Song)
Come on along, and join the Simcha
With Rebbetzin Tap and Friends
We’ll spread a smile, we’ll spread some Chesed
And do it over and over again
Come on along, and meet the Chevre
It’s Rebbetzin Tap and Friends
We’ll sing a song, we’ll learn some lessons
And do it over and over again
Having adventures, all across the land
Helping each other, when we need a hand
Come on along, and join the Simcha
With Rebbetzin Tap and Friends
We’ll spread a smile, we’ll spread some Chesed
And do it over and over again
Ten Little Hamentashen (Purim Song)
10 little hamentashen, I gave 2 away
8 little hamentashen left
8 little hamentashen, I gave 2 away
6 little hamentashen left
Mishloach manot, one to another
I give to you, and you give to me
Mishloach manot, one friend to another
Now I know how fun Purim can be
How many hamentashen do we have? Six, that’s right!
6 little hamentashen, and I gave 2 away
4 little hamentashen left
4 little hamentashen, I gave 2 away
Just 2 little hamentashen left
2 little hamentashen I gave them both away
No more little hamentashen left
But now there’s lots of hamentashen, coming back to me
It’s so fun when friends give to friends
Mishloach manot, one to another
I give to you, and you give to me
Mishloach manot, one friend to another
Now I know how fun Purim can be
How much fun Purim can be
We’re Free (Passover Song)
Hey, that’s me… Skippin’ across the sea
Hey, that’s you… Hoppin’ like a kangaroo
So get up off the floor… ‘Cause we’re not slaves anymore
Free, we’re free… Free to live our destiny
Free, we’re free… Free to be who we want to be
Hey, let’s shout… Get that chometz out
Hey, let’s scrub… I think there’s chometz in the tub
There’s no time to be lazy… But sometimes we go a little crazy
Free, we’re free… Free to live our destiny
Free, we’re free… Free to be who we want to be
Sit, right down… Haggadah tell you something now
Sing, discuss… ‘Cause it’s a story all about us
Mitzrayim, see ya later… We gotta do the Seder!
Kadesh… Urchatz… Karpas… Yachatz
Magid… Rachtza… Motzi… Matza
Maror… Korech… Shulchan… Orech
Tzufun… Barech… Hallel and Nirtza…
Free, we’re free… Free to live our destiny
Free, we’re free… Free to be a people together
Free, we’re free… Free to be our very best
Free, we’re free… Free to be who we want to be
Free, we’re free…
Stay Up All Night (Shavuot Song)
The 6th of Sivan
It’s the day that we receive on
Anything you want to learn, it’s alright
Put some water in the urn
Stay up all night!
Put on your fedora
Time for kabalas ha’Torah
Anything you want to wear, it’s alright
Just keep those thumbs in the air
Stay up all night!
Chumash – chazara
Mishna – chazara
Gemara – chazara, yeah!
Eat a melon or a mango
When you do the Torah tango
Pri ha’adama or eitz, that’s right
Gotta make it to neitz
Stay up all night!
Say some p’rakim of Tehilim
Keep your coffee cup from spillin’
If you’re starting to sway, it’s alright
Try our cheesecake buffet
Stay up all night!
Navi… chazara
Mussar… chazara
Halacha… chazara, yeah!
So wake up your chavrusas
This is no time for excuses
Anything to help you focus, it’s alright
‘Cause there’s really no machlokes
Stay up all night!
Hold onto your shtender
We can’t possibly surrender
‘Cause you know it is Shavuos, that’s right
And the only thing to do is…
Stay up all night!
‘Cause you know it is Shavuos, that’s right
And the only thing to do is…
Stay up all night!
Gonna stay up all
Gonna stay up all
We’re gonna stay up all night!
Time To Do Some Chesed
That means it’s time to do some Chesed
Time to get up and help our friends
Because when someone has a need
It’s up to us to take the lead
We gotta go do
We gotta go do
We gotta go do some Chesed
Now off we go to do some Chesed
Off on our way to help our friends
Because when someone has a need
It’s up to us to take the lead
For on each other we do depend
Apples & Honey (Rosh Hashanah Song)
I’ve got the apple
And I’ve got the honey
We’ll put them together
And make it a sweet new year
Cause you’ve got the apple
And you’ve got the honey
Our days will be sunny
When I’m spending them with you
Gotta be the head, and not the tail
Merits grow like a pomegranate
A new year that can’t be “beet”…
Shana tova
Now I’ve got the apple
And I’ve got the honey
We’ll put them together
And make it a sweet new year
Cause you’ve got the apple
And you’ve got the honey
Our days will be sunny
When I’m spending them with you
Gotta be the head, and not the tail
Merits grow like a pomegranate
Go out on a “date” with you…
Shana tova
Gotta be the head, and not the tail
Merits grow like a pomegranate
Start off wishing everyone…
A shana tova
It’s gonna be so sweet, the more I move my feet…
It’s gonna be so sweet, the more I move my feet…
Oh… Apples and honey
Book of Life (Yom Kippur Song)
Last year, I stood before You
This year, have I really changed?
If You look into my heart
And see who I want to be
I need a new start
Please won’t You write me
Into the Book of Life
Here I am, asking for blessings
But do I appreciate what I already have?
If You look into my heart
There’s goodness inside me
I just need a new start
So please won’t You write me
Into the Book of Life
Last year, my tears were raining down
This year, there’s a new me blossoming
If You look into my heart
It’s ready for healing
Now I need a new start
So please won’t You seal me
Into the Book of Life…
The Book of Life…
I’m ready to start living
Shake the Lulav (Sukkot Song)
There’s a special season, I wait for every year
A time when all our worries, just seem to disappear
Take our everyday things, and bring them all outside
Move into the Sukkah, that’s where we will reside
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, everybody come down
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, joy is all around
I keep finding Sukkahs, everywhere I go
Just the s’chach above me, and the ground below
Just like in the desert, Mitzrayim far away
Sheltered by the One Above, that’s what we do today
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, everybody come down
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, joy is all around
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, come and join in the fun
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, there’s room for everyone
Welcome the Ushpizin, and have some company
See all the decorations, made by you and me
A Sukkah party’s happening, we’ll get the table set
Let’s hope for sunny weather, so we don’t get all wet
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, everybody come down
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, joy is all around
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, come and join in the fun
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, there’s room for everyone
Take those Arba Minim, and hold them close to you
It’s time to be united, with every type of Jew
Feeling so much simcha, a zillion different ways
Only thing about it, it’s only seven days
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, everybody come down
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, joy is all around
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, come and join in the fun
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, there’s room for everyone
One more time…
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, everybody come down
Shake-a, shake-a the lulav, joy is all around
Joy is all around
The Biggest Light (Hanukkah Song)
One little flame
Not the same
As any other
Eight candles shine
They all combine
Helping one another
We can be the biggest light
Reaching so far and shining so bright
We can be the biggest light
Helping the world as we light up the night
Oh the biggest light
Oh the biggest light
One history
You and me
Sing our song together
Each ray of light
Across the night
A hope that shines forever
We all have a part
Search your heart
And you’ll find a glowing flame
For all to see
We can be… tonight
We can be the biggest light
Reaching so far and shining so bright
We can be the biggest light
Helping the world as we light up the night
Oh the biggest light
Oh the biggest light
One night so cold
A story told
About the Jewish nation
In the darkest hour
We have the power
Of illumination
Light the candle in my heart
Each of us can play a part
Light the candle in my heart
Each of us can play a part
Light the candle in my heart
Each of us can be
Oh the biggest light
Oh the biggest light…
