יו יה

Yo Yah

I received punishment, a bit exaggerated

sentenced me to death

i sat on an electric chair

i said goodbye to my "private"1

If i could at least

change the chairs

because they say that usually

if you change your place you change your luck

Hey yo yah

i ask

hey yo yah

you all answer

hey yo yah

is this fair?

hey yo yah

you all don't know

My brother collected stamps

therefore he worked in the post office

he would deliver the letters

he even earned a degree

one day an inspector identified

that he also collected the letters

and was immediately fired

because there is an end for every mailman2

Hey yo yah

i ask

hey yo yah

you all answer

hey yo yah

is this fair?

hey yo yah

you all don't know

I had such a lazy uncle

that was too lazy to rest

would go to the ant

return in a bad mood

If he would have been a bit less stupid

so he would surely have known that there was

an addendum to the saying:

see her ways and learn

Hey yo yah

i ask

hey yo yah

you all answer

hey yo yah

is this fair?

hey yo yah

you all don't know

My cousin wanted to swim

so that he could float regularly

learned swimming by mail

with a famous lifeguard

When he finally went into the sea

within a few seconds he disappeared

two jumped in immediately to help him

the two drowned rather than the one3

Hey yo yah

i ask

hey yo yah

you all answer

hey yo yah

is this fair?

hey yo yah

you all don't know.

1. car
2. alt: thing - davaar (mailman) and davar(thing) sound very similar in Hebrew
3. play on word as to drown and good sound the same in Hebrew IOW "two are better than one"
