Why does the zebra wear pajamas

Mi yode’a madu’a velamah

Loveshet hazebrah pyjama

Ki beboker yom rishon

Hazebrah kamah

Pashtah et hapyjama

Lavshah min hastam

Michnasaim vechultzah

Ach miyad hi hirgishah

She’in hi merutzah

Miherah velavshah

Chorus

Py-jam-a pyjam ma-ma pyjam ma-ma

py-ja py-jam-ma-ma

Beboker yom sheni
Hazebrah kamah
Pashtah et hapyjama
Lavshah be simchah
Et bigdei hahitamlut
Ach oi davkah bah
Machalat ha’atzalut
Miherah velavshah

(Chorus)

Beboker yom shlishi
Hazebrah kamah
Pashtah et hapyjama
Tarchah vetarchah

Umadedah lah sarbal
Ach hayah zeh begged
Cham umesurbal
Miherah vealvshah

(Chorus)

Beboker yom revi’i
Hazebrah kamah
Pashtah et hapyjama
Lavshah besimchad begged yam
Ach oi vavoi
Hi kiblah machalat yam
Miherah velavshah

(Chorus)

Na na na na na na na na (repeat)

Beboker yom chamishi
Hazebeah kamah
Pashtah et hapyjama
Amdah umadedah lah simlat milemala
Ach miyad uveterem
Beterem hitraglah lah
Miherah velavshah

(Chorus)

Be’erev shabat
Hazebrah kamah
Ach beterem pashtah et hapyjama
Yashvah vechashvah
Im kedai leyom echad bilvad
Letro’ach velil’bosh et simlat hashabat
Yashvah vechashvah vechashvah vechashvah
Vechashvah ad motz’ei shabat

Ume’az mi she’lo sho’el madu’a velamah
Loveshet hazebrah pyjama
