Springtime for Amos Oz

 

 

   Well, as you know, Amos Oz, the leader of the Israeli Literary Left, has proclaimed that he considers the handful of ragtag teenage graffiti vandals calling themselves "Price Tag" to be "Neo-Nazis."   He issued a clarification that he calls them "Neo-Nazis" and not "Nazis," after which I issued my own clarification that I consider Oz to be a Neo-Moron and not a Moron.   Amos Oz is now the Israeli Gunter Grass.  Oz had dedicated one of his books to the Palestinian terrorist and mass murderer Marwan Barghouti, in Israeli prison until the next wave of cowardice afflicts the Israeli cabinet.

 

   Anyway, in light of the outpouring of literary and artistic creativity by our beloved Oz, and especially in response to his new campaign against Price Tagger "Neo-Nazis," I thought the time might be right to compose some new lyrics to the famous song from the show/movie The Producers about Springtme for Hitler.  Now if you have not seen the show or movie, and even if you have, take a look first at this video clip to refresh your memory of the original out-of-date lyrics and the melody:

After you have done that, then imagine the same exact show, with same exact dancers and costumes, but with a new updated cast and song lyrics.  Imagine Amos Oz stepping out on stage and singing out the following:

 

 

Palestine was having trouble
So So Nakba sorry
Needed a new leader to restore
Its fictional story


Where, oh, where was he?
Where could that man be?


We looked around and then we found
The writer for you and me
Fie Fie Neo-Nazis, said he!
Graffiti never more shall be!


We looked around and then we found
The novelist for you and me!


Yes now it's..

.
Springtime for Amos and Barghouti

Amos is happy and gay!
Goosestepping at his leftist pace
Look out, Price Tag, end your ways !


Springtime for Nakba and Barghouti

Hamastan a fine land once more!
Springtime for Nakba and Barghouti
Watch out, Israel,
Graffiti no more!


CHORUS:
Springtime! Springtime!
Springtime! Springtime!
Springtime! Springtime!
Springtime! Springtime!

Springtime for Amos and Barghouti

Hamastan a fine land once more!
Springtime for Nakba and Barghouti
Watch out, Israel
Graffiti no more!
