Lomir zinger kinderlekh
A zemerl tsuzamen,
A nigndl, a freylekhn,
Mit verterlekh von gramen.

Mit kashe un kneydlekh.

Her oyf gisn vaser,
Zaynen ale khsidim trukn aroys, nor
Der rebe is aroys a naser.

Oyf tsu lokheys di gazlonim,
Un zog zhe, ver is narishe,
Ver zenen di khakhomim.

Let's sing, kids
And let’s have a good time,
A little tune, a joyful one,
With words full of cheer.
Mom's cooking up some noodle soup,
With matzo balls and dumplings.
Come the holiday of Purim,
We’ll play with our dreidels.
Tshiribim - boom!
Tshiribom - boom!
Tshiribim boom boom boom boom! (x2)
Once upon a time our rabbi,
Walked under the stars,
Once upon a time he started to dance,
In the pouring rain,
He called the rabbi to the table,
Here to drink some water,
All the Hasidim are out and about, but
The rabbi is a real miracle.
Tshiribim - boom!
Tshiribom - boom!
Tshiribim boom boom boom boom! (x2)
They say in the town of Chelm
Only fools reside,
If we’re the wise ones
We’ve got a pretty face,
The fools laugh day and night,
While the wise guys are in the streets,
And say, who’s the foolish one,
Who are the wise men.
Tshiribim - boom!
Tshiribom - boom!
Tshiribim boom boom boom boom! (x2)
