Little Bit Off the Top

Tune: When Johnny Comes Marching Home

 

When I was eight days old my boys,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
When I was eight days old my boys,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
The Rabbi came with a big sharp knife,
And I surely thought he would take my life,
But all he took was a,
Little bit off the top.

O, that is what they call a bris,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
O, that is what they call a bris,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
And if the Rabbi doesn't miss,
It makes for a more interesting piss,
But all he took was a,
Little bit off the top.

The Rabbi, he is called a moyl,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
The Rabbi, he is called a moyl,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
And over me he sure did toil,
I thought I would end up a goil,
But all he took was a,
Little bit off the top.

O, circumcision is all right,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
O, circumcision is all right,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
But every morning and every night,
You aim to the left and pee to the right,
But all he took was a,
Little bit off the top.
