"Shake Hands With Your Uncle Max" by Allan Sherman
I sell a line of plastics
And I travel on the road
And I have a case of samples
Which believe me is a load
Every night a strange cafe
A strange hotel and then
Early in the morning
I am on the road again
When the season's over
And my lonesome journey ends
That's the only time I see
My family and my friends
I drive up Ocean Parkway
And before I stop the car
My ma leans out the window
And she hollers, "Here we are!"
Shake hands with your Uncle Max, my boy
And here is your sister Shirl
And here is your cousin Isabel
That's Irving's oldest girl
And you remember the Tishman twins
Gerald and Jerome
We all came out to greet you
And to wish you welcome home
Meet..
Merowitz, Berowitz, Handelman, Schandelman
Sperber and Gerber and Steiner and Stone
Boskowitz, Lubowitz, Aaronson, Baronson,
Kleinman and Feinman and Freidman and Cohen
Smallowitz, Wallowitz, Tidelbaum, Mandelbaum
Levin, Levinsky, Levine and Levi
Brumburger, Schlumburger, Minkus and Pinkus
And Stein with an "e-i" and Styne with a "y"
Shake hands with your Uncle Sol mein boy
And here is your brother Sid
And here is your cousin Yetta
Who expects another kid
Whenever you're on the road mein boy
Wherever you may roam
We'll all be here when you come back
To wish you welcome home

Somebody wished my father a happy Hanukkah (based on the above principle), even though my family is not Jewish.algonacchick @ Apr 23 2005, 03:10 PM wrote: Names like Schwartz and Steinberg tend to get mistaken for Jewish.

Ok, well, thanks, Jeremy. I'm sad to say I don't know a lot of Allan Sherman's songs. But, you do make a point by posting those lyrics.
So, anyway, that Al guy. Hes great, isn't he? I like on the WAY Live video, when he's whipping his hair around at the beginning of that song.

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!

No. It's not. Technically, it's considered a Hebrew name, but not a Jewish name. Hebrew is a language. Judaism is a religion. Two very different things. "David ben Gurion" is simply Hebrew for "David, son of Gurion." But even then, it's the Hebrew form of the name, just as Miguel is the Spanish form of Michael.
But no, there ARE NO "Jewish" names, just as there are no Catholic or Muslim names. There are English, Roman, even Arabic names. But those are nationalities, not religions.
BTW, Patti, I strongly recommend checking out the Allan Sherman album, "My Son, The Greatest."

If memory serves-- "Aaron" is hebrew for Mountain. Thats all I know about the name.
but I don't know what posessed my parents to name me Aron. We're not religious at all, so I can only wonder.

Aron-- Only the second accordionist to ever sit in the trunk of Torsoboy's DeLorean. Al was the first.
