Who, day and night, must scramble for a living,
[C#]                      [C]
Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers?
[C]
And who has the right, as master of the house,
[C#]                      [C]
To have the final word at home?

Verse 2*:
[C]
Who must know the way to make a proper home,
  [C#]          [C]
A quiet home, a kosher home?
[C]
Who must raise the family and run the home,
   [C#]                    [C]
So Papa's free to read the holy books?


Chorus 2:
    [C]    [C#]  [C]

   [C]                                [C#]             [C]
At three, I started Hebrew school. At ten, I learned a trade.
  [C]                                   [C#][NC]
I hear they've picked a bride for me. I hope she's pretty.
[NC]
'Cause we're so pretty, oh so pretty, vacant!


Chorus 3:
    [C]    [C#]  [C]
The Son!         Tradition.

Verse 4**:
    [C]                    [C#]              [C]
And who does Mama teach to mend and tend and fix,
   [C]                   [C#]      [C]
Preparing me to marry whoever Papa picks?

Papa! Mama! Daughter! Son!       Tradition!
[C]                        [C#]  [C]
Papa! Mama! Daughter! Son!       Tradition!

not just power chords like the rest.
