🎶 *Rabbeinu Tam* | from Jewish the Musical ✨🎉 🎤 Vocals – Riglis Band 🎧🎶 ✍️ Lyrics (English adaptation) – Walter J. Kin 🎚️ Music & Production – Walter J. Kin *About this track* 🌟 This playful song retells the legendary Yiddish folk tale of **Rabbeinu Tam**, a 12th-century scholar whose name became a folk legend. A golden peacock carries a love letter from a princess — but Rabbeinu Tam forgets about it and goes to watch a goat instead. His wife discovers the note and grows jealous, and the story ends with a tailor admitting he wrote the whole song as a joke. Our teenage adaptation keeps the “diddle diddle” refrains and rhyme structure while giving the story a singable English form for today’s audiences 🙌🎶. *History & Cultural Context* 📜🌍 The Yiddish version is attributed to *Itzik Manger* (lyrics) and *Hertz Rubin (1911–1958)* (music). *Rabbeinu Tam (Rabbi Jacob ben Meir, c. 1100–1171)* was Rashi’s grandson and one of the most important Tosafist scholars. Folk culture often turned revered rabbis into comic or legendary characters. This song contrasts the dignity of a scholar with humorous domestic and romantic twists. In 20th-century America, Jewish communities sang versions that ended not mocking, but honoring Rabbeinu Tam. The comic closing stanza (“a tailor wrote this song… like a button on the seam”) reflects a formula used by **16th-century Purim performers**. *Lyrics of Rabbeinu Tam* Let me sing a tale to you Did-a-little little da Of a golden peacock flying over sea and land In his big pink seal notes bright as a petal he wrote A letter to Rabbeinu Tam a letter to Rabbeinu Tam Who was sent this little note Did-a-little little do It was pinned by a princess Turkish and so coy She sealed the envelope with tears and waits to count the years Underneath the yellow moon Underneath the yellow moon What was written in the note Did-a-little little do I love you No rest for me without you She sits and neither eats nor drinks Stares out the pane and thinks Its hard to wait so long Its hard to wait so long VERSE 4 And what does Rabbeinu do Did-a-little little do He just wrinkles up his nose and quickly walks away He runs outside to see instead How a white goat shakes its head How the goat goes mad How the goat goes mad VERSE 5 Then his wife she finds the note Did-a-little little do Another princess has a crush again youre playing star You smile but better watch your head My rolling pin you dread There are many I am one There are many I am one VERSE 6 Who has written this small song Did-a-little little do A tailor wrote it on a whim for Rabbeinu on Shabbat He wrote the tune and stitched a joke on soon Like a button on a seam Like a button on a seam *Playlist* 👉    • JEWISH, THE MUSICAL® - Producer Playlist   *Subscribe & contact* 🔔 [Subscribe to RigliMusic](   / @riglimusic  ) 🙌🎤 📧 doublesign28@gmail.com — Walter J.
