ELIMELECH OF GILHOFEN
Elimelech of Gilhofen drank "l'chaim" once too often,
Drank "l'chaim“ and became a trifle gay.
So, he put his studies by, tipped his hat across one eye, } 2x
And he called for his fiddlers to play. }

Well, the fiddler took his fiddle, put the bow across the middle,
And the fiddle fiddled out a little tune.
When the fiddler with his fiddle fiddled, "Fiddle diddle diddle,“ } 2x
Elimelech bounced just like a toy balloon. }

Elimelech, feeling frisky, took another drop of whiskey.
Twice too often down his gullet it did go.
Called each friend and each relation to his Purim celebration, } 2x
Then he roared for the piper to blow. }<br>

ELIMELECH OF GILHOFEN (cont’d)
Well, the piper "tweedle tweeted,“ and the fiddle, it repeated,
"Fiddle diddle fiddle diddle diddle dee."
When the piper "tweedle tweeted,“ and the fiddle, it repeated, } 2x
Elimelech was beside himself with glee. }

Then, he drank three times too often, and his eyes began to soften,
And the tears began to trickle from his chin.
Oh, his ears they were a -buzzin’ til a sympathetic cousin } 2x
Whispered, "Please, let the drummer begin.“ }

Well, the drummer's drum, he beat it, and the piper "tweedle tweeted,"
And the fiddle, it repeated its encore.
The drum was "tweedle tweeting,“ and the fiddle, it was beating. } 2x
Elimelech, fast asleep, began to snore. }<br>
