Cuz it’s a rebbe’s life

We understand

We’ve got the future of the world in our hands

For tinokos shel bais rabban are the leaders tomorrow we’ll see

Yes, it’s a rebbe’s life

We know every child

Has got a spark of something special inside

And the Torah we teach

Is a flame that will reach

Every heart and soul

For generations to be

It’s so many years later

I’ve left it all behind

But Yankele in cheder

Will sometimes cross my mind

אוי כי הם חיינו

Oy cuz it’s a rebbe’s life

Then I attend a dinner

I meet the honoree

I say: You look familiar

And Yankel says: It’s me

אוי כי הם חיינו

אוי ואורך ימינו

My Yankel’s dedicated

To assisting kids in cheder

For whom learning’s really tough

He says: Rebbe I can guide ’em

Cuz I see the good inside ’em

And it’s all cuz of your love

1f:T6b6,

I see him at the cheder

I see him all the time

And even when I leave him

Can’t get him off my mind

אוי כי הם חיינו

Oy cuz it’s a rebbe’s life

The times that he’s successful

The times I watch him fail

The learning and the struggle

The nachas and the pain

אוי כי הם חיינו

Oy cuz it’s a rebbe’s life

I’ve tried rewards and prizes

And the wisest of advisors

Just to find out what he needs

For Yankele ben Gittel

Let me say one more kappitel

Gonna pray that he’ll succeed

Cuz it’s a rebbe’s life

We understand
