lyrics

Golden Tooth

My father had a rule in life
If you don't steal, you don't survive
He didn't have so much to lose-
A wedding ring and a golden tooth

My mamma had some heavy bones
She killed ten burglars on her own
Finally, she had her share
Lost a fight to grizzly bear

My uncle owned a liqueur store
I used to wipe him of the floor
When I found him pale and blue
He had in his hand a pint of glue

My sister liked to wear a short dress
One day the neighbour grabbed her ass
Surprisingly she didn't care
Dress on the floor, legs in the air

Chorus
A wedding ring and a golden tooth
I haven't got so much to lose
No flashy car, no fancy home
This golden tooth is all i own

I'm staying here, don't want to leave
No better options up my sleeve
Anywhere else i'll be a clown
I've never left this shitty town

My barber had a thing for knives
He used to try them on his wife
He went too far and cut her ears
Now he's in jail for twenty years

My neighbour had a pizza place
So bad you wouldn’t dare to taste
When they came to shut him down
He took his own life with a plastic gun

My brother had a winning horse
Won his bets but lost his house
He found a coin that changed his luck
Got ran over by a pickup truck

My youngest son was not that bright
He couldn’t tell his left from right
Luckily, he had a gift
Made us proud as the village thief

about

Jewish Monkeys Tel Aviv, Israel

Jewish Monkeys are a wacky Kleizmer-Rock/Pop burlesque band from Tel Aviv. Their story begins way back in the 1970's, when two of their singers meet in the Frankfurt Synagogue boy's choir and became best friends forever. Three decades later, joined by a third member, they become the deliciously irreverent trio they are today, dubbed The Jewish Monkeys.
