Take It Easy

Well, I can see we got a load
 Of prohibitions and codes
 I got several different ones in mind
 48 rabbonim, 33 batlonim
 12 or more are friends of mine
 Take it easy, Take it easy
 Life isn't only black and white, so don't go crazy
 Lighten up when making bans
 We still can follow G-d's commands
 Learn on our own what he demands, so take it easy
 Well, I saw him the corner
 This boy, he was a loner
 Such a sad sight to see
 Said, "the kids were mean, 'cause I wear blue jeans.
 Now they say they can't be friends with me"
 Won't raise my babies
 Just on what they say
 I'll teach my family right from wrong
 Not just what pleases me
 We could lose, if it's a sin
 So we'll read it once and read again
 Then ask a rav where to begin
 He'll make it easy
 I'm keeping kosher on my own
 And making peace in the home
 While the world is coming all undone
 Looking everyday to enjoy what he created
 Your view ain't the only one
 So take it easy
 Please believe me
 I've made a good, strong Jewish life
 With what he gave me
 Come on, leave me
 Can't you see
 I'll serve my fellow man and G-d
 That's why he made me
 We all don't have it easy
 We oughta take it easy
