It was a great day visiting this beautiful site!

Here is a song my teacher made up. I recorded a video of us singing, will try to post later haha :)

The Shfelah Song Lyrics: J. Chadwick ©1997 [sing to the tune of “My Boyfriend’s Back”]

Goliath’s back, and you’re gonna be in trouble

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back!

He’s nine feet high and his chin is kinda double

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back!

He’s gotta big spear like a weaver’s beam

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back!

When King Saul saw it, he started to scream

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back! And, he really is a giant! (drum roll) And, he’s workin’ for a tyrant!

Now David went down to the Valley of Elah

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back!

Takin’ his brothers some cheeses from his Papa

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back!

The brothers said “Hey Dave ya did a na-na”

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back!

Goliath just a stood there laughin’ “ha ha!”

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back! And, he really is a giant! (drum roll) And, he’s workin’ for a tyrant!

The Israelites were standin’ on the hill on the one side, ah-oooo, ah-oooo ... (trumpet riff) The Philistines were standin’ on the hill on the other side, ah-ooooooooooo ... (trumpet riff) Wait and see!

So David chose five stones out of the wadi

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back!

Goliath started talkin’ kinda “pottie”

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back!

David slung a stone into his head

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back!

The giant fell down on his face and he was dead

Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s back! And, the giant fell down dead! (drum roll) And, then Dave cut off his head! [r] Shfelah, Shfelah, Goliath’s dead
