Shabbat, my favorite night!

T'was the time before Shabbat
and all through the hour
I felt so excited,
My thoughts were like flour

Scattered and powdered with the joys of the weekend
I'm thinking of prayers,
With the Hebrew we sing them.

The songs of Shabbat
are my favorite part
I've sung them so long,
I know them by heart!

The service, it has a routine, all its own,
From the lighting of candles
to the Oseh Shalom

We end with Alenu and prayer for the dead
But wait, there's still wine,
And then we break bread

But it isn't just any old bread that we eat,
Instead, we have Challah,
With eggs, not just wheat

Challah's the yummiest bread that I know
You can buy it all baked and woven in rows

The last part's the dinner, if not, an oneg,
We talk, and have fun,
And then?
Home to bed!
