A Twenty Dollar Bill and Why

Chanukah Gelt, for real!

Not candy

A twenty dollar bill

Oh, my...

A twenty dollar bill and why?

Upon what should we contemplate?

Allow me please to explicate

What's the meaning of this Gelt

For peace

Sometimes, blood must be spilt

For life!

Sometimes, a good man dies

What means this money?

Noah, boychick

You won't learn this in Arithmetic!

Money follows certain laws

It's worth how much it's worth because

Somewhere, something's valued less

It's how our blessings come, I guess

Golden, shiny, but never pure

Think from whence your riches stem

Think of someone who is poor

And know you stole this gold from them!

Especially here in the Devil's South!

You rip your gold from a starving man's mouth!

Oh, for Pete's sake dad

Just give him the money

Good, say thank you, honey

Thank you

Noah, never forget

Stuart, play the clarinet

Right!

A happy happy Chanukah night

What a party, what a goose

Fun, huh?

Noah?

Oh, what's the use?

It's cold tonight

My feet are numb

I'm tired waiting for a bus that won't come
