Hayseed
I’m a hayseed, my hair is seaweed
And my ears are made of leather and they flop in stormy weather Gosh a hem lock, I’m strong as a pine lock I’m a shomer(et) can’t you see All shomrim are high minded Bless our souls we’re double jointed They climb trees and don’t mind it all day long x2 Hashomer is for you Hashomer is for me Hashomer is for anyone who sings off key |

Shir Mosh 2021
Verse 1
A mask and two meters, won’t cover my smile I’m coming again, and I'm bringing my style. To see my kvutza, not behind a big screen Might not be the old way, but there’s a vaccine Verse 2 Like pizza and bagels, a cheese or a font The summer with Mosh sums up all that i want When one of them’s missing it doesn’t feel right Because they need to be together it’s as clear as the night. Pre-Chorus Counting down the days I can’t stop dreaming about Mosh, ‘till I'm… Chorus Splashing in the lake Laughing with my friends Here’s my chance to grow Making memories Brand new things to learn Finally at home I never want to leave - (Interlude) Verse 3 A warm sunny breeze climbs the old dirt road Setting my mind to an adventurous mode The air fills with chala, and soup from the ched It’s already late, but i won’t go bed Bridge Singing Jimbalaya, on a warm Saturday eve Fills my heart with Shomeric believe I want to keep: Chorus Splashing in the lake Laughing with my friends Here’s my chance to grow Making memories Brand new things to learn Finally at home I never want to leave - (Interlude) Verse 4 Libi Mechake le’tziltzul pa’amon Arutz bimhirut va’agi’a rishon Ba’erev Etzchak va’ashir et shiri Bemakom kazeh bo hakol efshari Pre-Chorus Counting down the days I can’t stop dreaming about Mosh, ‘till I'm… Chorus Splashing in the lake Laughing with my friends Here’s my chance to grow Making memories Brand new things to learn Finally at home I never want to leave - (Interlude) |

Shir Mosh 2020
Verse 1
There’s something different in the air And I am not so worried about lice in my hair I spend my day on zoom calls Dream of shirutim walls And laughing, and dancing, and hugging all day But when I see you on my screen Or 6 ft apart I know exactly what this really means To have friends for life Community to guide me right How wonderful it is to know that I’m never alone Chorus Summer at home Seems a bit monochrome But that’s not the truth A mosquito said to me Look inside and you will see The power of the youth Rechokim, ach shutafim bederech Hashomer Kulanu yachdav Kaitz meshune nachat aleinu mimarom Lefeta, pit'om Verse 2 There’s something different in the air And maybe the world is in need of a little shomeric care I wear my chultza with pride And with the strength it provides I know that there’s nothing that I cannot achieve Chorus It is not the same But it’s our job to reclaim The magic we all know wake up screaming Kima Fall asleep to Shira Make a homemade gazebo (which is the correct term for what we call pagodas and it rhymes, so...) The chof is now my bathtub Joining so many clubs Mosh kayitz ba’ir Pizza bagels And doing tables 2020… what a year Verse 1 How wonderful it is to know that I’m never alone x3 |

Shir Mosh 2005
Verse
What do you say that you and me, Just pack up our bags and go to a place where we can be free Escape from the hustle and bustle of city streets Step on the bus and I guarantee you’ll feel the relief Bridge The old dirt road looks familiar to me This is where I can truly be free Memories gone but they still remain You know true friends will never betray Chorus Machane Shomria, Zeh ha’makom sheli ve shelcha Me ha’migdal la chultzah ha’chula Ani lo rotze lishcoach otcha Verse It’s been almost a year since I’ve seen you last, But before too long this summer will pass So while you’re here, have some fun and join in this song, Let’s turn to each other with open arms and sing along Bridge Chorus x2 |
