If your heart is as heavy as lead
If your soul is grieving within you
Then listen to the song of Israeli-made
Take comfort from it
It's the generation, generation of the Messianic Age,
He's napping and he's late.
He needs a prophet and a preacher
Or at least - an alarm clock.
To arouse love and respect and affection
and envy
for the Israeli-made!
For the milk, the gravel, and cakes, the jam
the cheese
of Israeli-made!
If you want something sweeter than sugar for a holiday
go pick some
from the Israeli-made!
If you want something bitter than death, don't worry
there's bitter herbs
of Israeli-made!
There's of any time, of any kind
all hail
the Israeli-made!
But the Jews all hear and still don't comprehend
we have brains...
of Israeli-made!
There's no unity in the newborn nation
No joined chain of hands
There's no shoulder, no united front
But there is, but there is not so few -
But there's suspenders, bras, handles
all wonderful
of Israeli-made!
And there's a zoo and inside the zoo
lions
of Israeli-made!
With manners and order, never ask for a patent
it is always
of Israeli-made!
And the virgin daughters of Zion speak with a German
accent
of Israeli-made!
And for two years now the fire consumes the fields
of Israeli-made!
And the Englishman ruler, even he uses
methods...
of Israeli-made.
It's the generation, generation of the Messianic Age,
He's napping and he's late.
He needs a prophet and a preacher
Or at least - an alarm clock.
To arouse love and respect and affection
and envy
for the Israeli-made!
For the milk, the gravel, and cakes, the jam
the cheese
of Israeli-made!
If you want something sweeter than sugar for a holiday
go pick some
from the Israeli-made!
If you want something bitter than death, don't worry
there's bitter herbs
of Israeli-made!
