Those who today loudly voice their complaints
   Might do well to study a people most quaint
The Jewish People for 3,332 years has survived
   Despite pogroms and holocausts, still quite alive

A former slave nation exiled to Persia almost 2,500 years ago
   Jerusalem then razed to the ground by Rome, as you know
Jews lived by the skin of their teeth for 1,900 years
   Until they retook Jerusalem in 1967, a miracle it appeared

Herded into ghettos in Western Europe 'til Napoleon
   And the 'Pale of Settlement' further east 'til the 20th century dawned
Jews kept a low profile, in the face of Injustice didn't complain
   Beatings, Blood-Libels, Round-ups -- all sorts of Pain

Jews couldn't own land; they were barred from all professions
   Countless peasants falsely accused Jews of murder at confession
The Jew became a middleman, a despised money-changer
   If he tried to pass for a gentile, his very life was in danger

As if all that weren't enough, last century 6 million precious Jewish souls
   died in Nazi gas chambers, crematoria, trenches, open holes
One-third of all the world's Jews wiped out in just six years
   Pregnant women and infants murdered in that Valley of Tears

Today Jews are in Jerusalem, Israel! a People standing strong
   They refused to give up hope just because they were wronged
What's their secret, you may ask. How did they do it
   No smoke. No mirrors. They just stubbornly stuck to it...

Rule #1: Education, universal literacy for all of their seed
   From the age of three, every Jewish child's taught to read
Next: Family purity, the holiness and sanctity of wedlock
   Women always had rights! but no infant aborted, no child 'bad luck'

And finally, what kept it all together, down through the ages
   An unshakeable belief in God and His Law, no matter the outrages
So, from the Jews you might want to take a softer-voiced cue
   For you too can do it. Just follow three rules...
