Words and Lyrics by Lisa Baydush, www.LisaBaydush.com
A note from the songwriter:
This song has become a big hit at Shabbat Sings at my school. I preface it by asking if they’re ready to boogie down, and then I urge them to show me their best boogie moves. I often change up the lyrics; here are some variations:
Clap your hands! Do do do!
Jump up and down! Do do do!
Dance like Sophie! Do do do!
High Five! Do do do!
Lyrics:
Shabbat is comin’, so let’s boogie on down
To the synagogue to hear the happy sound
Of people prayin’ and singin’ songs
So c’mon everybody and sing along!
It’s Shabbat! Do do do do do!
It’s Shabbat! Do do do do do!
It’s Shabbat! Do do do do do!
I’m so glad that it’s Shabbat!
It’s Shabbat! Boogie down! Do do do! (3x)
I’m so glad that it’s Shabbat!
Slide it right/left/right…
Jump and clap…
Coda:
Oh yeah! I’m so glad that it’s Shabbat!
You know it! I’m so glad that it’s Shabbat!
