[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hey, what are you doing?
I see him at the cheder, I see him all the [Gm] time,
And even when I leave him, can't get him off [Ab] my mind,
I [Eb] kiyeim _ chayeyinu, [Fm] [Ab] ah, _ [Bb] cause it's a Rebbe's [Eb] life.
The times that he's successful, the times I watch [Gm] him fail,
The learning and the struggle, the nachas and [Ab] the pain,
_ I [Eb] kiyeim _ chayeyinu, [Fm] ah, _ cause it's [Bb] a Rebbe's [Ab] life.
I try rewards and [Fm] prizes, and the wisest of [Bb] advisors,
Just to find out what he needs.
[Ab] For Yankie, Leib and Gittel, [Fm] let me say one more capital,
[Bb] Gonna pray [Eb] that he'll [Bb] succeed, cause it's a [Ab] Rebbe's life.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Fm] We've got the future of the world in our [Cm] hands, _
[Eb] For athinoikie shel mizravona, the leaders tomorrow we'll [Bb] see,
_ _ Cause it's a [Ab] Rebbe's life, we know [Eb] every child,
Has [G] got a spark of love that's special [Cm] inside, _
[Ab] And the Torah we teach, [Eb] is a flame that will reach,
[Fm] Every heart and [Bb] soul, for [Eb] generations to be. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So many years later, left it all [Gm] behind,
But Yankie le'im cheder, well something's crossed [Ab] my mind,
_ _ [Eb] _ _ I kiyeim [Fm] chayeyinu, ah, _ [Eb] cause it's a [Bb] Rebbe's [Eb] life.
Then I attend a dinner, I meet the [Gm] honoree,
I say, you look familiar, and Yankie says, it's [Ab] me.
I [Eb] kiyeim _ chayeyinu, [Fm] _ ah, cause it's [C] a [Bb] Rebbe's life.
[Ab] My Yankie's dedicated [Fm] to assisting kids in cheder,
[Bb] For whom [Ebm] learning's really [Bb] tough. _ _
[Ab] He says, Rebbe, I can guide them, [Fm] cause I see the good inside them,
[Bb] And it's [Eb] all because [Bb] you love,
Cause it's [Ab] a Rebbe's life, we [Eb] understand, _ _
[Fm] We've got the future of the world in our [Cm] hands, _
[Eb] For if the Yankie's held, Mr.
Alvona, the leaders tomorrow we'll see,
[Bb] _ _ _ Yes, it's a [Ab] Rebbe's life, we know [Eb] every child,
Has [G] got a _ spark of [Cm] love that's special inside,
[Ab] And the Torah we teach, [Eb] is a flame that will reach,
[Fm] Every heart and [Bb] soul, _ _ [Eb] and nations to be.
