Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

You can sing (and dance) along to this one... It's based off of a music video called 'Chorosho,' by the fabulous Benny Friedman. (It's the 5:20 version, set in the early 1900's in New York City). Hope you enjoy it...

Shout For Joy, Dance and Sing

I wake up, to celebrate the morning
    It's gonna be, a beautiful day
  Birds are singing, without warning
    I'll take my pills, last night or yesterday

  You know I've got, no patience for complaining
    Who gives a hoot, if cats and dogs it's raining
  Even if, the sunshine is abstaining
    Deep in my heart, it never went away

  How do you do, How do you do
    I want to see the real you
  Shout for joy, dance and sing
    Positivity's the thing!

  So get up, put on your best smile
    Take a run, even go a mile
  Wave Hi to folks, you see in the turnstiles
    Hop, skip and jump, you are so versatile

  How do you do, How do you do
    I want to see the real you
  Shout for joy, dance and sing
    Positivity's the thing!
