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
I Feel Shabbos
I feel Shabbos, almost Shabbos
And the whole world is coming alive
Erev Shabbos, my Neshama’s ready to revive
Cooking chicken, time is tickin’
Smells of Shabbos are filling the air
Making Shabbos, I am practically without a care
See the imas taking their kids to gan
See the abbas heading off to work
Ironing the shirts
Whipping up desserts
Pruning the bouquet
Such a holy day
I love Shabbos, almost Shabbos
I can work on my scrubbing technique
Erev Shabbos, the most wonderful time of the week
I hear Shabbos, sounds of Shabbos
Checking lettuce will get us to sing
Erev Shabbos, making music out of everything
Table setting, ‘tatoes shredding
As we’re helping our imas prepare
Erev Shabbos, I can hear the toilet paper tear
See the people putting their cholent on
What cholent where?
Who can that Shabbos queen be?
Which what where who?
Mopping all the floors
Muktza in the drawers
Taking out the trash
Think I’m going to crash
I love Shabbos, nearly Shabbos
It’s so sweetly, completely unique
Erev Shabbos, the most wonderful time of the week
Shoppin’ For Shabbos
One, two, three, four items on the list
Five, six, seven, eight items on the list
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve items on the list

Challah, Challah!
What is that delicious smell?
Something baking I can tell
Could it be our favorite treat?
Homemade challah, love to eat…
Challah, challah, sing it with me… La, la, la
Challah, challah, takes us through Havdala
Raisin, poppy, sesame
Every kind tastes good to me
White wheat, whole wheat, even spelt
Put it in your mouth and watch it melt
Challah, challah, sing it with me… La, la, la
Challah, challah, takes us through Havdala
Rounded, braided, make a heart
Any shape you can impart
As long as it’s not made of clay
Tastes like challah anyway
Challah, challah, sing it with me… La, la, la
Challah, challah, takes us through Havdala
Shabbos table is all set
Is that challah ready yet?
Daven, Kiddush, could it be?
Wash and make Hamotzi!
Challah, challah, sing it with me… La, la, la
Challah, challah, takes us through Havdala
Challah, challah, sing it with me… La, la, la
Challah, challah, for Melava Malka
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
You Mean The World To Me
Life gets better every minute
The room gets brighter when you’re in it
And when I’m feeling blue
I just stick with you
‘Cause you’ll always mean the world to me
You and I are birds of a feather
You help guide me in stormy weather
And when I’m filled with doubt
You make the sun come out
You’ll always mean the world to me
The memories that you and I share
The lifetime of love and care
In my heart I will always find you there
Forever you and me
Oh the memories that you and I own
The life of kindness that you’ve shown
In my heart you will always have a home
Forever you and me
Every moment is a treasure
To be with you is such a pleasure
And when I need a friend
On you I will depend
‘Cause you’ll always mean the world to me
Oh, life gets better every minute
The room gets brighter when you’re in it
And when I’m feeling blue
I just stick with you
‘Cause you’ll always mean the world to me
You’ll always mean the world to me
Hold On To Your Faith
Sometimes, you don’t know what to do
You’ve thought it all through
A rescue’s overdue
Sometimes, you don’t know where to turn
Your head’s filled with concern
That’s the time to learn…
To hold on to your faith
Open your heart
When times are hard, you will get through
Hold on to your faith
Open your heart
When times are hard, you’re not alone
Sometimes, it’s hard to understand
When everything you’ve planned
Is slipping through your hands
Sometimes, it seems so hard to cope
At the end of your rope
Just never lose hope
Hold on to your faith
Open your heart
When times are hard, you will get through
Hold on to your faith
Open your heart
When times are hard, you’re not alone
Can we do it?
Yes we can…
Hold on to your faith
Open your heart
When times are hard, you will get through
Hold on to your faith
Open your heart
When times are hard, you’re not alone
Shabbos Is Almost Here
You don’t have the time to doze
When you’re folding all the clothes
Shabbos is almost here
This is not the time to plotz
When you’re scrubbing out the pots
Shabbos is almost here
Gotta clean, gotta clean
Gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
No delaying anymore
When you’re mopping up the floor
Shabbos is almost here
Got to go out in a flash
When you’re taking out the trash
Shabbos is almost here
Gotta clean, gotta clean
Gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
There’s no saying your not able
When you’re setting up the table
Shabbos is almost here
It is not the time to rest
While you finish getting dressed
Shabbos is almost here
Gotta clean, gotta clean
Gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
Gotta sing, gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
Gotta shout, gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
Gotta clap, gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
Gotta dance, gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
Gotta spin, gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
Gotta run, gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
Gotta jump, gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
Gotta go, gotta get ready – Shabbos is almost here
See you soon, see you next time…
‘Cause Shabbos is almost here
