Our Favorite Things at Nahal Soreq

Sung to the tune of My Favorite Things The Sound of Music


Corn and canned tuna, cucumbers, tomatoes
Olives and pickles, humus, potatoes 
Showers that flood the floor with doors that
won’t close 
Nahal Soreq we’ll remember you most
 

Yossi and Avraham, Vova and Moshe 
Breakfast and lunches and dinners cooked
kosher 
Kitbags and duffle bags packed and re-packed 
From warehouse to warehouse we dragged and
re-stacked
 

: Chorus
Cleaning toilets, scrubbing showers 
Wiping down the sinks 
With little detergent, no cleaning supplies 
The sherutim still stink
 

Three little puppies with no home or shelter 
Looking for handouts in heat that swelters 
F-15s flying high both day and night 
IDF Air Force already to fight
 

Beit Oded weekends, Tel Aviv and Yafo 
Schwarma and shishlik and tasty felafel 
Days at the beaches with oil on our skin 
These are a few of our favorite things
 

: Chorus
Cleaning toilets, scrubbing showers 
Wiping down the sinks 
With little detergent, no cleaning supplies 
The sherutim still stink


Tools wrapped in plastic and guns dipped in oil 
We volunteer, because we are loyal 
To Israel, the country we deeply love 
If we don’t do our work, we’ll get a shove
 

Madricha Elin, Madricha Esti 
Look after us so well, though we can get testy 
Meetings in the shekem and day trips by bus 
Soldiers with M16s protecting us
 

: Chorus
Cleaning toilets, scrubbing showers 
Wiping down the sinks 
With little detergent, no cleaning supplies 
The sherutim still stink
