To the tune of Billy Joel "Uptown Girl", Beck Kasoff wrote this song as part of the Uptown American "Idle" Purim competition.
Uptown Shul
We’ve been living in a non-frum world
We bet you never met a cool rabbi
And Shabbatons here only cost a chai
We’re gonna daven at the uptown shul
We’ve been living in a white bread world
As long as anyone with Jewish blood can
And now we’re looking for some Challah, man
That's what I am
And when we know what
We want from our shul
And when we wake up
And make up our mind
You'll see this shul is cool
That is WHY
We’re in love with an uptown shul
You know we've seen her in her uptown shul
Her Shabbatons always bring us joys
She does all this with 4 girls and boys
She's got such poise.
Uptown Shul
You know we can't afford to buy her rooms
But maybe someday when our ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of Jews we’ve been
And then we’ll grin!
And when he picks up the book to bench
And when he sings
You’ll say that he's such a mench.
We’re no fools
Just because
We’re in love
With an uptown shul!
