Sung to the tune of “Be Our Guest” from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”

Day of rest, day of rest,
Fridays really are the best
Light the candles, say the blessings,
Let your spirit do the rest

Glass of wine,
Challah bread,
Or a dinner roll instead
We don’t care if you’re not Jewish
Black, white, purple, pink or bluish

Take a break
From the week
Rest your head and weary feet
‘Cuz Friday nights are never second-best
Invite your friends to dine,
Serve them a lot of wine,
Day of rest, day of rest, day of rest!

Day of rest,
Day of rest
Put our Shabbos to the test
Paper plates or fancy dishes
Try the tsimis – it’s delicious!

Tell some jokes,
Sing some songs,
On Shabbat, you can’t go wrong
Spend some time at your own table
Bake a kugel if you’re able

Throw your cares,
To the wind
Let tranquility begin
This weekly holiday is heaven-blessed
So come and lift your glass,
Another week has passed
Day of rest,
Day of rest,
Day of rest!
