The "Here Comes Yom Tov" Blues

I used to love the holiday of Succos
'Twas a great time for me and my fam
But now it's getting quite claustrophobic
And I don't want to be where I am

Cause every bone in my body is shakin'
And I'm breakin out in cold, cold sweat
And my mind, my brain, my head - they are all achin'
And we're not around the table just yet

I've got the "Here comes Yom Tov" blues
A Jewish woman, at some point, is due
But me and my hubby, we'll just have to watch
While our nephews down all of the scotch
I've got the "Here comes Yom Tov" blues
Oh, yeah!
I've got the "Here comes Yom Tov" blues

I'll have to clear all the plates from the table
While my sister is diaperin' her kid
And my husband will be sitting in the shteeble
While my brother, on psicha, does bid

And my aunts and uncles all will be a-whisperin'
And wishing us a simchadike year
And the sibs will argue over which zoo to go to
While we're wondering if anyone cares

I've got the "Here comes Yom Tov" blues
A Jewish woman, at some point, is due
But me and my hubby, we'll just have to wait
As my neice devours all of my plate
I've got the "Here comes Yom Tov" blues
Oh, yeah!
I've got the "Here comes Yom Tov" blues

Now the purpose of this song is not to question
Why this nisayon was given to me
The reward will be beyond my comprehension
And I'm waiting for Hashem to set me free
All I'm asking is for some consideration
From my family and friends all around
If I'm a bit too quick to show frustration
Perhaps this song will help them understand

I've got the "Here comes Yom Tov" blues
A Jewish woman, at some point, is due
But me and my hubby try to ignore all that's said
While all the kids dance on top of our heads
I've got the "Here comes Yom Tov" blues
Oh, yeah!
I've got the "Here comes Yom Tov" blues
