Story Behind The Song

This is a hilarious song in the musical. Four women come out dressed as Golda and sing this song. It's a definite crowd pleaser.

Song Description

It was written for my musical, From Generation to Generation. The lead woman is telling her granddaughter how she admired Golda, and the song ensues.

Lyrics

GOLDA!
Gah - Gah - Gah - Golda!
Haven't we told yah what a woman you turned out to be?
Your reputation - a revelation! We love yah, Golda!

Gah - Gah - Gah - Golda!
Big and boldah! You really showed 'em how to be your own man!
A politician - such intuition! We love yah, Golda!

(speaking:) "Golda, where are you now when we need you so desparately? You paved the way for women to follow their yellow brick roads and reach for their rainbows! We thank you, Golda,"
And we miss you,we'd kiss you, God bless you and rest you in peace!

Gah - Gah - Gah - Golda!
How could we scold yah for leaving your husband to care for the kids
You were majestic - forget domestic! Not our Golda!

Gah - Gah - Gah - Golda!
Though no centerfoldah!
You used your chutzpah to outsmart all those men!
An inspiration to all great nations! We love yah, Golda!

(speaking) "Golda Meir - a true mother of Israel! Full of heart and soulah! With you, they threw out the moldah! No one could holdah a candle to you, our dear Golda, 'cause"
You were caring and daring and sharing - a mother to all!

Gah - Gah - Gah - Golda!
Let me cry on your shouldah! I'm filled with remorseah!
My guilt overwhelms!
You were at the Knesset. We were shopping at Target!
You were running the country. We were doing the laundry!
You were making history - Our lives had no mystery!
(or We were making spaghetti!)
We can't help but love you, Golda! Golda! GOLDA!
