Lyrics

Whizzer, hey! Suddenly it all came clear: I said, let's have my bar mitzvah here! Surprise! This was Jason's brilliant idea! And I brought the prayer shawl Ooo It's Jason's bar mitzvah! Don't you move Everything will soon be great Close your eyes While we redecorate I'll unwrap the billion hors d'oeuvres And someone, please, eat them Photo Ooo It's Jason's bar mitzvah! Lovely, flowers make things lovely Champagne makes things lovely, too Everything's amiss Drink up! Anyone for bubbly? Probably, it's doubly useful at a time like this Cheers Cheers And aren't things lovely? I feel more helpless than I have in years Try this on Mendel, get this thing in gear Please excuse me if I interfere But I feel that, since I'm the host It's me who should toast him Ooo, ooo To Jason's bar mitzvah! I notified the nurses Told them please to not intrude I passed around the food And dumped some extra food 'Cause, Lord knows, we've got plenty She's cooked for some 200 guests We number not that many Actually... we're seven Maybe it's not dumb The way this whole thing ends The food tastes really yummy Oh, mummy Lovely The flowers seem to sparkle The candelabra sets the tone I must make things The wine is very soothing Lovely Soothes the "something, something" Someone needed soothing Put everything I think, perhaps, I'm overdressed In its place I think, perhaps, it doesn't matter Ready for the That you are Band Here we are Jason's bar mitzvah looks Like the books say it should Cheers And aren't things lovely? Everything is lovely I feel more helpless than I have in years Here he comes Fix his tie Trina, try To make him smile more Don't know why But he looks like Marvin How did you turn out so great? Who do I thank for the man you've turned into? Kid, do you know How proud I am? If I don't show How proud I am... You hold my dreams Kid, I burst at the seams 'Cause of you Son of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Son of Marvin, Son of Trina, Son of Whizzer, Son of Mendel And godchild to the lesbians from next door Sing Oh, sing Oh, sing Vie-eme-loh yei-o-leh Heh-oh-non v'loh Ah-yis-is-ooh ah yisreal Ha-ooh loh toh vo-omeem abba
