The Sheep in the Shuk

Verse 1

White wool

Pure like a new tallit

Snowy

Mary walked the shuk

Buying

Olives for the Shabbat table

Little sheep

Tripped on a loose stone

Broke a sandal

Miriam cried out to the heavens

Chorus

She had a lamb

Such a little lamb

Fleece like salt on a pretzel

Everywhere she went

The sheep would follow her

Even to the wedding

Even to the wall

She had a lamb

Such a little lamb

Post-Chorus

Ya habibi

Lalala

Ya habibi

Lalala

Verse 2

School gates

Closed for the holiday

Funny

Teacher had a fit

Why

Is there a farm in my class

Mary

Laughed until she lost her breath

Eat some hummus

Maybe then you will be calm

Stop the shouting

Chorus

She had a lamb

Such a little lamb

Fleece like salt on a pretzel

Everywhere she went

The sheep would follow her

Even to the wedding

Even to the wall

She had a lamb

Such a little lamb

Post-Chorus

Ya habibi

Lalala

Ya habibi

Lalala

Bridge

Children played

They kicked the ball

They danced the horah

Round the yard

The wool stayed clean

Despite the dust

Despite the heat

That lamb was holy

That lamb was mine

Chorus

She had a lamb

Such a little lamb

Fleece like salt on a pretzel

Everywhere she went

The sheep would follow her

Even to the wedding

Even to the wall

She had a lamb

Such a little lamb

Outro

Miriam go home

Take the sheep

Shabbat is coming

Peace be with you

Lalala

Lalala

Shalom
