Tradition |
| Tradition, tradition! |
| Tradition! |
| Tradition, tradition! |
| Tradition! |
| Who, day and night, must scramble for a living |
| Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers? |
| And who has the right, as master of the house |
| To have the final word at home? |
| The Papa, the Papa! |
| Tradition |
| The Papa, the Papa! |
| Tradition |
| Who must know the way to make a proper home |
| A quiet home, a kosher home? |
| Who must raise the family and run the home |
| So Papa’s free to read the holy books? |
| The Mama, the Mama! |
| Tradition! |
| The Mama, the Mama! |
| Tradition! |
| At three, I started Hebrew school |
| At ten, I learned a trade |
| I hear they’ve picked a bride for me |
| I hope she’s pretty |
| The son, the son! |
| Tradition! |
| The son, the son! |
| Tradition! |
| And who does Mama teach to mend and tend and fix |
| Preparing me to marry whoever Papa picks? |
| The daughter, the daughter! |
| Tradition! |
| The daughter, the daughter! |
| Tradition |
