The sons of Israel he called scamps, And he sent them off to work in concentration camps. CHORUS: Mene, mene, tekel, tekel, tekel, Mene, mene, tekel upharsin. Does anyone know the rest of it & where it came from? It had a jazz tune. --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: Reason will conflict with faith so long as respect for evidence conflicts with contempt for evidence. :|| |
