Winds Over the Lower East Side

The LES is still there Spanish people playing dominoes Orthodox and Hasidic people Walking around The years have changed the place There is a nice mural with drawings of the past Jewish life there The years have changed the place Chinese people walking through A Roman Catholic church or two Guess I'll remain a Jew But I do not keep kosher so some call l me a goy Yet Sabbath services sometimes fill me with joy Winds over the LES Pushcart Coffee serves tasty brew I'll listen to whatever music I want to Your taste may be better than mine I'll forgive you if you choose wine over the brine LES is now my home Some gave me a tome Eros and the Jews I'll read it soon......
