LYRICS:
I wake up early, before the sun
Snooze a few times, then it’s time to put ‘em on
With all my brothers, or on the road
They’re always with me, winter summer spring or snow

You can pray You can sing
So wear Teflilin, wear Teflin, wear Teflilin
Wear ‘em, share ‘em, pray to G-D with them, Wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap,
Now don’t be shy, your bro needs a try

I wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap
Grandpa does it, and my Pops, we keep wrappin
When I was 13, became a man
Started wearing my Tefilin on my hand
And now I’m trying, to teach the world
‘Bout this Mitzvah, our duty, our call
