Our friends Shelley and David Brinn, Debbie and Eliot Zimulmen, and Lori and Yitzhak Ben-Dayan wrote and performed a song at my bar mitzvah. Click here to watch it on YouTube in HD. Or watch it below. Lyrics included.
WALK LIKE AVIV
(Guys) Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
(Girls) Walk Walk      Walk Walk
(Guys) Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
(Girls) Walk Walk      Walk Walk
The Blums had a plan
To hike across the land
And show Aviv the country that they love (oowa oowa oowa)
They went to depths and heights
Gave Brian lots of frights
But now their boots just fit them like a glove
CHORUS
So Why don’t you…
Hike like Aviv
Wear it on your sleeve
Hike Like Aviv my frie-ie –ie-ends
He’s now a man
He’ll take you by the hand
He’s hitting the trail again..
(Guys) Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
(Girls) Walk Walk      Walk Walk
(Guys) Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
(Girls) Walk Walk      Walk Walk
From Nahal David to Nahal Galim
They faced every challenge with good grace (oowa oowa oowa)
Aviv had a ball
Now it’s off to Nepal
Hope they find falafel in that place
CHORUS
He’s the kind of guy
Who looks you in the eye
And tells you what he thinks of you
Now he’s at the age
About to turn the page
Now he’s a legal Jew
CHORUS
