8th Day - Shabbos State of Mind

Finding a diamond in a fish does not make one into "Yosef Moker Shabbos". Learn from the salmon, swim upstream. Seek treasures more valuable than material wealth, and live in a "Shabbos state of mind".

Lyrics:

Yosef Moker Shabbos won a prize
He found a diamond no one knows the size
But Moker Shabbos doesn't care for fortune or fame

He saw passed the diamond it's glitz and it's gleam
He already has his holy queen
And Friday nights he'd close his eyes and sing

I'm in a Yosef Moker Shabbos state of mind
Not looking for diamonds
Diamonds I might find
If I got you
I got everything
Welcome welcome welcome holy Shabbos queen

He'd turn up the heat 450 or broil
Squeeze those lemons no need for oil
Salt pepper garlic trio of delight

He saw passed the diamond it's glitz and it's gleam
He already has his holy queen
And Friday nights he'd close his eyes and sing

I'm in a Yosef Moker Shabbos state of mind
Not looking for diamonds
Diamonds I might find
If I got you
I got everything
Welcome welcome welcome holy Shabbos queen

Don't float through life
Rise like the cream
Learn from the salmon
Learn to swim upstream
Dance like you mean it
Go ahead and scream

Don't float through life
Rise like the cream
Learn from the salmon
Learn to swim upstream
Sometimes you gotta close your eyes
To dream

I'm in a Yosef Moker Shabbos state of mind
Not looking for diamonds
Diamonds I might find
If I got you
I got everything
Welcome welcome welcome holy Shabbos queen
