Defiant body-love song, flaunting the very Jewish features that have been denigrated for centuries.

lyrics

Ya hasel yona mehaka
Wedeem atha lach mefaka
Watees mahbach ata malka
Bishmonath yeme Hanukah

I love my JewFro
And I love my JewNose
Brown hair brown eyes
That’s how my Jew goes

So f*** your nose bobs
Straightening hair jobs
My Middle Eastern roots
Refuse to be robbed

Old Abe and Sarah
From Mesopotamia
Dancing in my hair
And on my nose yeah

I won’t erase them
I’m part of this nation
Trotting across the globe
For generations

You may have light skin
And you may blend in
But darling you ain’t White
So just stop trying

Now let your nose show
And let your hair go
Your JewFro rocks
It’s gravity-defying

The band operates as a nonprofit, and donations are tax deductible. ... more
