English Translation of Track 6- "Hang up the Phone" from the "Leap of Faith" album

English

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

The family gets dizzy
The father seems so busy
My phone is going crazy
My hands are numb and freezy
The gadgets make us lazy
We gotta take it easy

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

I didn't see you in ages
It seems to me contagious
You going through some stages
The phone makes you outrageous
It locks you up in cages
Unlike our sages

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

All the hocus-pocus
Forever tries to choke us
It's making such a ruckus
We can barely focus

Davening and driving
Eating, working, sleeping
Why keep on replying
To all the rings and beeping

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

Hang up the phone! Hang up the phone!

Yiddish

Oi- What's my father missing
He doesn't have a computer
Today, every little whistle-blower (Every Kid)
In new toys (gadgets) he bathes

There's no more peace
How do we get rid of it
Oy vey- Gevalt, (Yiddish expression similiar to "Oh goodness")
Hang up the phone already

English

I'm going to a wedding
The entire hall is squawking
Everyone is phoning
To the wall I'm talking
My friend is with his bluetooth
We're together we are walking
Hey, hello please, Can you hang up that, That phone!!!

All the hocus-pocus
Forever tries to choke us
It's making such a ruckus
We can barely focus

Davening, Davening and driving,
Eating, working, sleeping
Why keep on replying
To all the rings and beep beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeep

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

Lay lay lay...

Instead of searching Google
I'm busy making Kugel
Instead of checking Email
I lift my hands to Himmel (the sky) [Yiddish]

Yiddish

I don't need this for this book
I only use an Aleph-Beis book
Lay, lay, lay, lay,
I have a Kosher telephone

Ipod, iphone, ipad
Aii, why does it come into my house/Shul
I still remember when an "I" [an egg] ("I" means egg in Yiddish) only meant egg with onion
I still remember when Blackberries
Didn't used to grow in Manhattan
And only those who had a headache
Would make use of tablets

Enough already with the phone (mixture of English and Yiddish)
Enough already with the phone (Yiddish)

Can you hang up the phone
Can you hang up the phone.............
