We’re going to cut my hair, for the very first time
An “upshernish” is Yiddish, it means cutting hair
A kippah and tzitzit, I’ll now get to wear
The Torah compares a little boy to a tree
Whose fruit may not be cut, until it turns three
If its roots are well nourished, it will grow strong and pure
And then the tree - just like me - will always stand secure
My new kippah and peyot will announce clear and loud
That I am a Jewish boy and I’m so very proud
No more brushes and pins, no more ponytails and curls
Never again will I hear “what a cute little girl!”
So come take a snip, my hair I won’t be missin’
Please join us for this beautiful tradition.
