Hail to Israel;s Chiefs
The time has come the ballad said
to talk of many things
of priests and of prime ministers
of presidents and kings
All honest men, all stalwart folk
their piety we sing
(except for several we could quote
who did some naughty things)
There’s Yitzhak whose wife’s dollars
he forgot in the USA
and Ezra who embezzled
a few millions they say
There’s Arik’s Greek island
there’s Ehud’s envelopes
but best of all was Moshe
who raised his helpers robes
So hail to all you holy men
you bible pounding folk
and praise the Lord that you weren’t made
a Rabbi or a Pope
