Hey, there, klezmer, grab your fiddle,
Play the latest number,
We’ll play and dance the latest sher.
All go in a circle dancing,
With your spirit racing,
Now when we dance the latest sher
Higher, higher to the ceiling,
Grandpa Elye’s reeling.
No one can just sit in his chair.
And Grandma Sosye brims with joy,
She laughs away her troubles
While she can dance the latest sher.
Oh see, just see, how they get happy,
When they are dancing,
And they’re stomping with their feet.
Our hearts get lighter as we keep dancing,
For when we’re dancing, that’s when
Life is really sweet.
Now’s the time for us to get together,
Show the world that we don’t have a care.
The bride will dance as lightly as a feather,
And we’ll all join her in the latest sher.
