Lyrics

[INTRO]
In a world of tradition, where faith is the guide
Lives a boy named Ellie Langer, with a heart full of pride
Yeshivish and Orthodox, he walks with a stride
But there's one thing that sets him apart, he can't hide

[VERSE 1]
He's against the Zionist dream, it just don't feel right
A state of his own, but at what cost, day and night
He's got a passion for his faith, it's strong and it's true
But the politics of Israel, he's not sure what to do

[CHORUS]
Ellie Langer, with a heart so pure
But sometimes he forgets, and it's hard to endure
His shluf Koppel's on his head, in shul he does stray
Everyone's staring, and he's got nothing to say

[VERSE 2]
He rushes to shul, in the morning light
Forgot to switch kippas, and it's a sorry sight
The shluf Koppel's on his head, it's a colorful crime
He tries to play it cool, but he's feeling so divine

[CHORUS]
Ellie Langer, with a heart so pure
But sometimes he forgets, and it's hard to endure
His shluf Koppel's on his head, in shul he does stray
Everyone's staring, and he's got nothing to say

[BRIDGE]
He's just a boy, trying to find his way
Through the complexities, of a modern day
Faith and tradition, and a world outside
He's searching for answers, with a heart full of pride

[HOOK]
Shluf Koppel, on his head so bright
A beacon of embarrassment, in the morning light
He'll switch it out, and try to be cool
But for now, he's just Ellie, feeling like a fool

[CHORUS]
Ellie Langer, with a heart so pure
But sometimes he forgets, and it's hard to endure
His shluf Koppel's on his head, in shul he does stray
Everyone's staring, and he's got nothing to say

[OUTRO]
So if you see Ellie, with a Koppel on his head
Don't be surprised, it's just a part of his thread
He's a boy with a heart, that's true and kind
Ellie Langer,
