Rabbi Ben Bag Bag
(Lyrics and Music © Jeff Klepper)
Oh Rabbi Ben Bag Bag had a double name name
Cause his last name was the same same but I never heard him brag
So here’s a little song song, it’s kinda like a tribute
I hope you don’t think that it’s too cute, and I hope you’ll sing along
CHORUSL
“Turn it, turn it, turn it again”, turn it around your mind
“Turn it, turn it, turn it again”, you’ll never know what secrets you might find
For Rabbi Ben Bag Bag there was always more to learn learn
Words of Torah he would turn turn all the night and all the day
And when the other Rabbis went to bed cause they were done done
“Bag” stayed late cause it was fun fun, he would turn to them and say
CHORUS
For Rabbi Ben Bag Bag the Torah was the be all
It also was the end all, and not a word was wrong
So thank you Rabbi Ben Bag Bag for your cool and pithy quote quote
It’s the best in Pirkei Avot and now it’s in a song!
CHORUS
