I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore

I can’t fight these emails any longer
And yet I’m not afraid to let them flow.
What started out as shticky has grown out of hand.
I only wish I had the money. Then I’d stop.

And even as I write this, more money do we need.
You can sponsor a hot Kiddush. Don’t make me beg and plead.
And we're not as closer as I ever think we need.

And I can’t fight these emails anymore.
I’ve forgotten what I want to sponsor for.
It’s time to bring your money to the shul.
Milk Kiddush isn’t cool.**
People, you can’t fight these emails anymore.

The Kiddush is such a whirlwind since I said so.
We go running 'round in circles setting up.
And it always seems like we get plenty of sponsors.
But hot Kiddush costs so much. We don’t always have enough.

And even as I write these, more money do we need.
You can sponsor a hot Kiddush. Don’t make me beg and plead.
And we're not as closer as I ever think we need.

And I can’t fight these emails anymore.
I’ve forgotten what I want to sponsor for.
It’s time to bring your money to the shul.
Milk Kiddush isn’t cool,** no never.

Cuz you can’t fight these emails anymore.
I’ve forgotten what you want to sponsor for.
Even if I have to crawl upon your floor.***
Come begging at your door.***
People, you can’t fight these emails anymore.


This email was inspired by Glee and REO Speedwagon. I hope you enjoyed both.
**This line is from this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdf8DwSbiuU - minute 1:21-26.
***No, I won't really do that...probably...
As always, if you want off this list, let me know. I will take you off right away. I'm really sorry to have bothered you. No hard feelings.

Don't Stop Believin'

Just a small town girl
Standing in a crowded shul
She took the A train going way uuuptown

Just a city boy
Born and raised on Bennett Ave
He took the A train going way uuuptown

The people in the social hall
The smell of wine and alcohol
For some money there could be some food
Could be more and more and more and more

Strangers waiting
All around the social hall
For some cholent cooking over niiiight
Friendly people
Living just to find some kugel
Hiding somewhere in the niiiiight

Working hard to fill my plate
Everybody cannot wait
Paying anything for hot kiddush
Just one more month

Some are cold, some are hot
But hopefully on this Shabbat
Ooooh the emails never end
They go on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
All around the social hall
For some cholent cooking over niiiight
Friendly people
Living just to find some kugel
Hiding somewhere in the niiiiight

Don't stop sponsoring
Give us all your money
Come on People
Pleeeeeeease

Don't stop sponsoring
Give us all your money
Come on People
Pleeeeeeease

Don't stop sponsoring
Give us all your money
Come on People
Pleeeeeeease


Footnotes:
  1. This song was inspired by the cast of Glee and Journey. I hope you enjoyed it.
  2. There are 457 email addresses on this list. If each of you gave $2, we could have a very nice kiddush. I'm just saying. $2 ! That's nothing! But it's something to us. Of course we encourage a little more than $2 :) b/c not everyone reads all the way thru and follows this instruction. Shocking! I know! One day...
  3. As always, if you want off this list, let me know. I will take you off right away. I'm really sorry to have bothered you. No hard feelings.
