Music: traditional / "Play That Funky Music" by Rob Parissi, used by permission
Lyrics: Hal Aqua

lyrics

1. When the rebbe Elimelekh was feeling rather freylekh
He was feeling rather freylekh, Elimelekh
He took off his t’fillin and started in to chillin’
And he called for his fiddlers to play

2. When the rebbe Elimelekh was feeling very freylekh
He was feeling very freylekh, Elimelekh
He took a sip of bronfn and he said "That stuff is somethin'"
And he called for his clarinets to play

3. When the rebbe Elimelekh / was feeling funkidelek
He was feeling funkidelek, Elimelekh
he was jumpin’ and-a jivin’, he was shakin’ and high-fivin’
And he called for his drummers to play

Yeah, they were dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky klezmer, white boy
Play that funky klezmer right
Play that funky klezmer, white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky klezmer till you die
