By the Hearth
By the hearth, a little fire's burning,
And the house is warm.
And the rabbi teaches
Little children
The alphabet.
And the rabbi teaches
Little children
The alphabet.
Look at the little ones,
Remember, dear ones,
What you learn here.
Say it once more
And then once more:
"Kometz-alef: oh!"
Say it once more
And then once more:
"Kometz-alef: oh!"
