We've Got a Strong Desire by Shlock Rock Lenny Solomon Jewish Music Lyrics

Adam, Eve, Abel, Cain,
Noah's Ark, Flood of Rain,
Terach, Idols, Haran dies,
Abraham leaves home.

Angels visit, Akeida,
War of Kings, Salty Wife,
Rescue in Sodom.

Yitzchak, Rivkah, Twins inside,
Jacob, Birthright, Isaac's Blind,
Stolen Blessing, Esav Cried,
Angel's ladder to the sky.

Rachel's beauty, Yaakov's hitched,
Lavan, Leah, daughter switched,
Four Wives, twelve Tribes,
Near Beit Lechem, Rachel Dies.

Chorus:
We've got a strong desire,
We are always yearning
for the Torah's Learning.
We've got a strong desire,
We will stay united,
never be divided.

Colored Coat, Brothers hate,
Sold to Egypt, Head of State,
Famine, grain, Goblet Test,
Brothers Reunite.

New King, Jews are slaves,
Moshe's born, princess saves,
Yitro's daughters, burning bush,
Aaron joins the fight.

Ten Plagues, Jews free,
Splitting of the Red Sea,
Amalek, Torah given,
Golden Calf, Jews Forgiven,

Moshe Leaves, Jews Grieve,
Joshua's the new chief.
