Aliyah 107: Israeli Boots Song (Blundstone)

I bought some leather sandals from the store,
I’m fully ready now to move a-broad,
I then made aliyah in twenty-four,
By all the newest choices: overawed.

Are these from old Tasmania’s far shore?
What does each person wear upon their feet?
With sides of stretch and leather made to endure,
From work and shul to walking on the street.

From It’ly, Jews with best Bor-sa-li-nos,
Break these shoes in now with plenty water,
Why should they hurt us like Al Pa-ci-no’s?
Who wears them now? Why, even my own daughter.

Became Israeli now, I dare at-test you,
Come home and wear them through your own house door,
At Max-stock store I found a sudden rescue,
I went right back and bought myself three more.
