Song Lyrics:
WHO KNOWS ONE?
By Karen Sokolof Javitch
WHO KNOWS ONE? GOD IS ONE.
He is here – here for everyone.
And we know he's everywhere.
And we pray to one God,
Yes one, yes one, yes one.
WHO KNOWS TWO? WE ALL KNOW TWO.
Noah packed the animals in groups of two
And the arc looked like a zoo!
And the animals went two by two - s
By two - by two - by two.
WHO KNOWS THREE? WE ALL KNOW THREE.
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are three -
The Jewish Patriarchs
Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov -
That's three, yes three, yes three
AND WHO KNOWS FOUR?
We ask the 4 questions on Passover!
AND WHO KNOWS FIVE?
The 5 books of Moses are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
Numbers, Deuteronomy - nomy - nomy
WHO KNOWS SIX? WE ALL KNOW SIX!
1-2-3-4-5 and 6
In 6 days the world was made.
And God rested on the 7th - the Sabbath!
The 7th - the Sabbath! the 7th - the Sabbath! The 7th
WHO KNOWS EIGHT? WE ALL KNOW EIGHT!
Eight days of Hannukah we celebrate
For a miracle took place!
And we light the menorah for 8 – 8 days
8 days - 8 days / 8 days – 8 days / 8 days
THE NUMBER NINE
On the 9th day of Av the temples fell!
AND THE NUMBER TEN
God gave us 10 rules to live by - the Ten Commandments!
One God,
2 Animals,
3 Patriarchs,
4 Questions,
5 Books of Moses!
God created in –
6 days,
7th rested,
8 candles,
9th day of Av
The 10 commandments, commandments,
1-2-3-4-5-6-7… 8-9-10
WHO KNOWS ONE? YEAH!
