Friday's rollin' 'round gotta hit the mikva pool
But the line's so long it feels like April Fool's
Every man in town's got the same idea
Erev Shabbos rush oh what a scene yeah
Sweat's pouring down but it ain't off my brow
Takes all my patience I'm workin' it somehow
Rabbi's up ahead he's takin' his sweet time
Oh if this line moves slower it should be a crime
The mikva's overflowin' everyone's on their feet
Need a lifeguard on duty 'cause we're packed in deep
Brothers waitin' patiently they're all in this grind
In the mikva lineup it's a race against time
Kids are splashin' water havin' some fun
Man beside me's grumblin' he's ready to run
Grandpa's telling stories though he's out of breath
This overcrowded mikva might just be my death
At last my turn's comin' I can see the end
Next time I'll arrive early won't repeat this trend
But for now I'll just dive in water's cold as ice
This Shabbos preparation has some lifelong advice
The mikva's overflowin' everyone's on their feet
Need a lifeguard on duty 'cause we're packed in deep
Brothers waitin' patiently they're all in this grind
In the mikva lineup it's a race against time
