Lyric

Whizzer, hey!

Suddenly it all came clear:

I said, let's have my bar mitzvah here!

Surprise!

This was Jason's brilliant idea!

And I brought the prayer shawl

Ooo

It's Jason's bar mitzvah!

Don't you move

Everything will soon be great

Close your eyes

While we redecorate

I'll unwrap the billion hors d'oeuvres

And someone, please, eat them

Ooo

It's Jason's bar mitzvah!

Lovely, flowers make things lovely

Champagne makes things lovely, too

Everything's amiss

Drink up!

Anyone for bubbly?

Probably, it's doubly useful at a time like this

Cheers

Cheers

And aren't things lovely?

I feel more helpless than I have in years

Try this on

Mendel, get this thing in gear

Please excuse me if I interfere

But I feel that, since I'm the host

It's me who should toast him

Ooo, ooo

To Jason's bar mitzvah!

I notified the nurses

Told them please to not intrude

I passed around the food

And dumped some extra food

'Cause, Lord knows, we've got plenty

She's cooked for some 200 guests

We number not that many

Actually... we're seven

Maybe it's not dumb

The way this whole thing ends

The food tastes really yummy

Oh, mummy

Lovely

The flowers seem to sparkle

The candelabra sets the tone

I must make things

The wine is very soothing

Lovely

Soothes the "something, something"

Someone needed soothing

Put everything

I think, perhaps, I'm overdressed

In its place

I think, perhaps, it doesn't matter

Ready for the

That you are

Band

Here we are

Jason's bar mitzvah looks

Like the books say it should

Cheers

And aren't things lovely?

Everything is lovely

I feel more helpless than I have in years

Here he comes

Fix his tie

Trina, try

To make him smile more

Don't know why

But he looks like Marvin

How did you turn out so great?

Who do I thank for the man you've turned into?

Kid, do you know

How proud I am?

If I don't show

How proud I am...

You hold my dreams

Kid, I burst at the seams

'Cause of you

Son of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

Son of Marvin, Son of Trina, Son of Whizzer, Son of Mendel

And godchild to the lesbians from next door

Sing

Oh, sing

Oh, sing

Vie-eme-loh yei-o-leh

Heh-oh-non v'loh

Ah-yis-is-ooh ah yisreal

Ha-ooh loh toh vo-omeem abba
