A Brief History of the Inane Kars 4 Kids Jingle You Can't Get Out of Your Head
Atone Again (Naturally)
As the holiest of High Holy Days approaches, we take a moment to share a bit of musical levity....
Atone Again (Naturally)
Performed by Marc Hoffman and the Bungaloafers

(intro)
Oh We had Rosh Hashanah last week
And so now it's forgiveness I seek
It’s time for HaShem to once again
Reopen that book He keeps
I hope that he’ll inscribe
My name there in-side
So like ev'ry Jew
On Yom Kippur who
Says for what I’ve done wrong I’m sorry
I’m standing in the shul, which is full of people praying
It might seem tough, but sure enough
It’s where I’ll be ohmeining
The shofar will be blown
I know I’m not alone
Atone Again, Naturally.
The Hazzan is the first to pray
With a mournful Kol Nidre
I skip drink and food, shlug kapores, too
Wear sneakers and don’t wash my face
And before the sun goes down
Five times I’ll be shteeble-bound
I’ll be davening till the evening
Though my soul is torn to pieces
All the day is spent
In repentance and confession
Tzedakah goes to those in need
Out of my possession
You know where I’ll be
This yontif join with me
Atone Again, Naturally
I start to realize
There’s a lot of awful things I’ve done
Folks I’ve offended
Though unintended
What did I do?
What did I do?
(Break)
Atone Again, Naturally
And so at this time ev’ry year
While it may bring a lot of tears
It keeps me and my wife in the Book of Life
With the kinderlach I hold dear
But it’s all about the soul
The spirit that keeps us whole
For we understand what Hashem commands
And He never can be forsaken
Though our year may start
With our hearts so badly broken
You’ll never hear complaints from me
When sacred prayers are spoken
For one entire day
Repent, confess and pray
Atone Again, Naturally
Atone Again, Naturally
