White shirt, black hat,
Black suit and a tie,
Is the description
Of a Yeshivish guy.
Striped shirt or colored,
Knitted kippah on his head,
Tan pants or jeans,
Now he's modern instead.
Yeshivish, modernish,
Knitted kippah, black hatter,
Can you tell me one thing-
Does this really matter?
A Bais Yaakov uniform,
Tights that are black,
Buttoned up to her neck,
That's a girl that's geshmak.
Wearing a denim skirt,
Short socks that reveal,
Her collarbone showing,
A much more modern appeal.
Bais Yaakov, more modern,
Skinnier, or fatter,
Can you tell me one thing-
Does this really matter?
Why do we judge
From the outer appearance?
Why does this rate
Our approval or leerings?
Why are we divided
Into so many factions?
How soon will we decide
That unity is in fashion?
