Thread Name: Lyr Add: 'You, You Sons of Moses' Anti-Semitic
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'You, You Sons of Moses' Anti-Semitic
The version that I learned at a Jewish summer camp in the late '40's:
"On, you sons of Moses, with your big long noses,
fight, fight, fight for Yisrael.
On you sun browned lasses, with your big round asses.
Fight, fight, fight, fight for Yisrael."
The tune was the Marseilles, which was adapted for the Vagabond King.
Other lyrics:
"Join the Russian navy, fight for meat and gravy,
fight fight fight for Joe Stalin.
Join the Yiddish Navy fight for bread and gravy.
fight fight fight for Yisrael."
Also the cheer:
"Guns for the Arabs; sneakers for the Jews."
