The GET Rap   

    by Anne Etra       

 

Did did you get the Get?

Oh yeh I got it done

You see I copped a plea

at the Bet Din, officially

They cut it for me

The male hierarchy

They told me I could be free

If I paid them a fee  

Snip snip snip snip

Like a circumcision

It’s a big decision

You can’t take it back  

Because Rabbinical boys

They have authority

Over me I’m just a girl

In a sorority  

And my role on the planet

is to procreate

And to raise my children

And to please my mate  

And once a month when the blood flows inside of me

Am I not still a woman

Full of juice and sexy?

They send me to the mikvah ritually

To get rid of all that impurity  

Did you get the get?

Oh yeh I got it done

did did you get the get?

Oh yeh I got it done

did did you get the get?

Oh yeh I got it done

I got it done   I got it done

Because there’s ten in a minyan

And you’re not included

So don’t be deluded

And think that they care 

That’s why they shove you behind

The mehitzah baby

Where no one can see you

You’re a non-entity  

And even if you have

The most beautiful hair

You have to keep it hidden

And away from the air 

You have to cover your body

And not show any skin

But can you really be comfortable

In the skin you’re in?

  

Did you get the get?

Oh yeh I got it done

did did you get the get?

Oh yeh I got it done

did did you get the get?

Oh yeh I got it done

I got it done   I got it done

So Sarah Ruth and Rachel

And Naomi

Why should you ask permission

if you want to be free? 

Did Isaac and Abraham grant you your wish?

Do Moses and Ezra think you’re a dish? 

Would a sexy dance affect the decision?

Or would it simply add to their derision?  

Did you not do as they please?

Did you recite the Shema?

Did you bake a Challah?

Did you say ‘mah neshma’? 

Did you swim like a fish on the Orthodox river?

“I want out of my marriage!”

“You didn’t deliver!”  

Did did you get the Get?

Oh yeh I got it done

Did did you get the Get?

Oh yeh I got it done

Did did you get the Get?

Oh yeh I got it done

I got it done   I got it done  I got it done

No more hypocrisy!

Your Halacha ain’t for me

It is unholy, false, a travesty

You don tefillin everyday

but it don’t mean a thing

You go through motions, eeesh

but your heart don’t sing

You wouldn’t know neshamah

if it hit you in the face

you are a bad example

of the human race

Unfit in mind and body

I cannot see the yolk

gimme ten good push-ups

isn’t that a joke!

Yeh we’ve had just enough

of your false piety

i said e’ynahim lahem

but you still don’t see

that you cannot extort money from me

just to grant my freedom,

my liberty

and if this is the law, well man

i don’t wanna know

if this is Kedushah

it ain’t got the flow

of the righteous

the people

who know kavanah

what is in fact a good deed

a real mitzvah

Ba ba Baruch ata, mateer asoorim

I said it's over, done

The pre-nup is in

I won’t be kept in chains

I've evened the score

I said I’m breaking free

I said I’m out the door

Did did you get the Get?

Oh yeh I got it done

Did did you get the Get?

Oh yeh I got it done

Did did you get the Get?

Oh yeh I got it done

I got it done   I got it done  I got it done
