Lyrics:
I’ve been going to the river to pray
Say tashlich, ‘cause it’s the High Holy Days again
So today I’m casting all my old sins away
And later, later I’ll eat
My nan’s honey cake
My rabbis had you figured out
Three times a year they see you
And it’s always during Tishri
When the synagogue is full of Jews
Books of Life in the skies above
They watch every move we make
Gotta judge us to seal our fate
Set our sins so that we repent
I had to fast all day to prove I’m here to stay
Had to hear the shofar blow loud when it came
To remember the Temple burning
Yeah, it’s still burning
I’ve been going to the river to pray
Say tashlich, ‘cause it’s the High Holy Days again
So today I’m casting all my old sins away
And later, later I’ll eat
My nan’s honey cake
I’ve been going to the river to pray
Say tashlich, ‘cause it’s the High Holy Days again
So today I’m casting all my old sins away
And later, later I’ll eat
My nan’s honey cake
Dip your apple
Dip your apple
Dip your apple
It’s Rosh Hashanah baby
Atone your sins
Atone your sins
Atone your sins
It’s Yom Kippur now baby
I keep going to the river
I’ve been going to the river to pray
Say tashlich, ‘cause it’s the High Holy Days again
So today I’m casting all my old sins away
And later, later I’ll eat
My nan’s honey cake
I’ve been going to the river to pray
