Archie & His Gang in: The Day of Atonement Lyrics – The Holy Gasp

Archie & His Gang in: The Day of Atonement Lyrics by The Holy Gasp

I wanted a turtle real bad
I asked my old man
He said A man must go wanting
The value of a dollar is the truth

Can you earn it
Come to shul on Yom Kippur
Sit down stand up in scratchy clothes
And read from a book filled with words you don’t know

And remember Treblinka
REMEMBER
YOU’RE WORSE THAN HITLER, DIG IT?
When the shofar blows, God knows, if He’s listening

You can have a turtle
Tekiah!
Three turtles for twelve dollars down at Big Al’s Aquarium Services
I named ‘em after the characters in an Archie Comics Magazine

I put ‘em in a tank on top of my dresser
I too am a turtle on top of my dresser
I suffеr and move
I bask in the heat

I swim to thе top for a raw piece of meat
And I sink when I’m sick
The Feeder is God—oh I hunger and long
And my turtle stopped breathing

And the shofar is blowing
I fear for you, Betty
I dream of you, Hitler
I sent my old man to the showers, I’m sorry

Shefarim!
It’s 3AM on a Thursday night
I’m 15 on a Thursday night
I’m on mushrooms on a Thursday night

And the whole world is a turtle tank
I go to my room
I turn on the light
Look over at Archie it gives me a fright

Oh DAMN DADDY YUCK!
Archie is dead
HIS EYES ROLLED back in his head
Cold

Daddy DAMN!
Death is a bust
I remember Treblinka
I weep for you, Betty

I bag up my turtle (HEIL HITLER!)
I’m sorry
I’m dragging the shovel (Heil Hitler!)
I’m coming

I dig for you, Archie
I dig for you, Tatte (Heil Hitler!)
I’m sorry (Heil Hitler!)
I’m sorry

Entschuldig mir, Tatte, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Teruah!
In ’99 my Daddy ain’t fine
In 2010 man it happens again

The monitor’s beeping
My mother is weeping
I dream of you Archie, your spoon, and your bread
I’m digging a hole, Veronica’s dead

A capo’s on guard at the foot of the bed Archie
I see your striped pyjamas Betty
I see your sunken eyes
The snow is crunching under my clogs

I’m digging a hole for Veronica Lodge
I’m torching the earth to soften the soil
Tekiah Gadola!
I’m sorry

I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry

I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry

I’m sorry
