Like,
Shuly had a parah aduma, a parah aduma, a parah aduma,
Shuly had a parah adume, its hair was red you know.
Shuly let it play all day, play all day, play all day
Shuly let it play all day, red cows don’t work you know.

To shul to shul, three times a day, that’s the way we ought to pray. To shul to shul, to daven with ten, tomorrow I’ll see you in shul again.

Bakbuk, bakbuk, have you any wine, yes sir yes sir five cups fine.
