Well it’s time for action
No more time for talk
It's time to pack my bags
It's time to leave New York
Dear Mr. President
I'm going to move to a settlement
I’m going to pack up my bags
Yes I’m moving to the Jewish State.
I'll take the train to the plane
Right out to JFK
And when I get to the gate
I’ll turn around and say
"Shalom everybody and l'hitraot
Now I've got to get home, to tend my sheep and my goats”
I’m going to move to a settlement
I’m leaving for the Promised Land.
I'll move to Sheelo, Yereecho
How happy I will bee-o
Elkana, Tekoa
Taking life a little slow-a
Yes, I'll be content
I'll be living on a settlement
Oh, middle east peace
Who is right and who is wrong?
I say, "Stop - why can't we all just get along?"
Let the Muslims build homes
Let the Christians build too
But it's the land of the Bible
It's the homeland of the Jews
Yes my bags are packed
Come along now ad follow me.
Q & A
They say that Arabs live in cities
In villages and towns
They say that Jews live in settlements
And it's time to tear them down
I say "Ma tovu
Ohalecha Yakov
Mishk'notecha
Ohh Yisrael! (Numbers 24:5)
