Is This The Way to Monticello

Performed by Marc Hoffman and the Bungaloafers.
Lyrics by Mike Pollock, Music by Neil Sedaka

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
When the day is dawning,
On a Catskills Friday morning
How I long to be there
Wife and kids all waiting for me there
Working in the City
Always leaves me flat
But the Country’s pretty,
And where my fam’ly's at
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Monticello?
Gonna give all my friends a big hello
Dreaming dreams of Monticello
Where my mishpucha waits for me
Show me the way to Monticello
Through the traffic, thick as Jell-O®
Driving up to Monticello
Where my mishpucha waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
My mishpucha waits for me
There’ll be Shabbos dinner
Pot o’ cholent starting to simmer
Crawling through construction
It’s a whole meshugah production
When I hit the Quickway
Cars in every lane
And nobody’s going
I might go insane
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Monticello?
Gonna give all my friends a big hello
Dreaming dreams of Monticello
Where my mishpucha waits for me
Show me the way to Monticello
Through the traffic, thick as Jell-O®
Driving up to Monticello
Where my mishpucha waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
My mishpucha waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
My mishpucha waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
My mishpucha waits for me
