Song for the Torah

It's the Most Wonderful Tome for all year
They're the books that define us
instruct us and guide us; we hold it so dear...
Its the most fer-fertile scroll of them all
there are lots of folks lying,
begetting and dying
and angels on call
it's the great-greatest roll call of them all

there are laws about eating
(marshmallows are cheating -
look for u's k's and o's)
adventures and lessons
the source of all blessings
stuff from ages ago

It's the most wonderful tome for all year
we roll back to Bereshit
when moses expires
and G-d sheds a tear
it's the most wonderful tome for all year

it's chock full of G-d's glories
and harrowing stories
laws and knowledge to go
more precious than money
our kids learn it with honey
so that they should know

its the sweet-sweetest tome of the year
there'll be cookies and candy
wrapping, dressing and dancing
with this great scroll so dear
it's the most wonderful tome for all year
