And he spoke about the soldiers – who would beat him They laughed at him – they tore his long black coat And he spoke about a synagogue that they burnt down And the crying that was heard beneath the smoke. CHORUS 1: But, Zaidy made us laugh Zaidy made us sing And Zaidy made a Kiddush – Friday Night And Zaidy oh my Zaidy – how I loved him so And Zaidy used to teach me wrong from right. His eyes lit up when he would teach me Torah And he taught me every line so carefully And he spoke about our slavery in Egypt And how G-d took us out to make us free. But Winter went by Summer came along I went to Camp – to run and play And when I came back home – they said, “Zaidy’s gone” and all his books were packed and stored away. And I don’t know, how or why – it came to be It happened slowly over many years We just stopped being Jewish like my Zaidy was And no one cared enough – to shed a tear. CHORUS 2: But Zaidy made us laugh Zaidy made us sing And Zaidy made a Seder – Pesach Night And Zaidy oh my Zaidy – how I loved him so And Zaidy used to teach me wrong from right. And many Winters went by And many Summers came along And now my children sit in front of me And who will be the Zaidy of my children Who will be their Zaidy – if not me? Who will be the Zaidy’s of our children Who will be their Zaidys – if not we? CHORUS 1: But, Zaidy made us laugh Zaidy made us sing And Zaidy made a Kiddush – Friday Night And Zaidy oh my Zaidy – how I loved him so And Zaidy used to teach me wrong from right.
