GAM ZU L'TOVA
THE MUSIC TO THIS SONG IS IN REALAUDIO FORMAT
MUSIC & LYRICS BY REUVEN A. STONE
I walked into the kitchen
Cause according to my tummy,
I yearned for something round and sweet
That would taste so yummy.
The cookie jar was up too far.
Oh, and what do you suppose,
The cookies fell down on my head,
And the jar got stuck on my nose.
CHORUS:
Well, did you laugh?
...No.
Well, did you cry?
Well,...Not exactly.
Did you raise your hands
And say, "Why? why? why?"
No, I sang
Gam Zu L'Tova, it'll put you to the test,
Just when you think that you're at the brink,
It'll turn out for the best.
Oh, he sang, "Gam Zu L'Tova"
It's oft misunderstood.
My nose got stuck in the cookie jar,
It'll turn out for the good.
I couldn't see, Oh my! Oh me!
I got into a scuddle,
While tugging at the cookie jar,
I fell into a puddle.
And when I reached for a towel,
I knew I was out of luck
The furry thing was black and white
I had grabbed a smelly skunk!
CHORUS: Well...did you ................
My nose got stuck in a cookie jar,
I smelled so bad I was seeing stars,
It'll turn out for the good.
By now it was a quarter to ten,
I was late for Cheder.
With a jar on my nose,
And a smell on my clothes
I ran to the elevator.
Just as I feared, the sign was clear,
It said "Sorry, closed for repairs."
So I clopped and I huffed,
And I panted and I puffed,
Down 20 flights of stairs.
CHORUS: Well...did you ................
My nose got stuck in the cookie jar,
I smelled so bad I was seeing stars,
I had to run down from the 20th floor,
It'll turn out for the good.
When it comes to "Gam Zu L'tova"
There are no guarantees,
You may get the answer right away,
Or maybe after 20 years,
But the story of Talmi Torah, is a pleaser that's for sure,
The answers were before his eyes,
as he left from his front door
As Talmi left the building
He met up with Big Mo,
Who said,"I've got a mind to beat you up"
And aimed his fist at Talmi's nose!
But that was a blunder, of course you remember,
On his face was a great big bowl,
You should have heard Mo's groaning cry,
"I think I broke a bone!"
Well, Mo was madder than ever,
He lifted Talmi to the sky,
He shook him and he shook him - Oi gevalt!
And he looked him in the eye.
Then with a sour face,
He said with a big frown,
I'd beat you up but the smell's so bad,
I'm headed out of town!
And as Big Mo slouched away,
He yelled "Hey, Talmi Torah,
You're lucky you didn't take the elevator,
You just missed my big brother!"
Talmi smiled with the jar on his nose,
And he repeated in his heart,
"Gam Zu L'tova" - thank you, Hashem!
Now that's a pretty good place to start!
