For thee, Zion, we remember thee, remember thee, remember thee, Zion.
That's the song.
Now if all of you try it with me, I'll learn it and then I'll divide you up.
All the boroughs try it together now. Here we go.
By the waters, the waters of Babylon,
We lay down and wept, and wept for thee, Zion.
We remember thee, remember thee, remember thee, Zion.
Brooklyn's not doing it at all.
We'll try it again. And just sing it good and loud.
Don't be ashamed. The lights are off. Nobody will find out.
Bye.
By the waters, the waters of Babylon,
We lay down and wept, and wept for thee, Zion.
We remember thee, remember thee, remember thee, Zion.
Do you want to try it again?
You have to do it really loud.
And there's like some vocal, tricky, melodic passages
that sort of tend to mess you up.
But pay attention and sing it good and loud.
And when the time comes to divide you up, you won't look like an idiot.
Here we go.
By the waters, the waters of Babylon,
We lay down and wept, and wept,
and wept for thee, Zion.
We remember thee, remember thee, remember thee, Zion.
Okay, now here comes the great test.
I'm going to divide everybody up.
Three parts.
We'll pretend it's like a V here, extending out.
And this portion over here will be Queens.
We have the Bronx in there.
And Manhattan, Brooklyn.
You'll just have to watch and sing along wherever you fit.
All right?
Right in there.
That's the kind of thing it is.
The Triborough audience.
And I'll start you off, and I'll point to each one at the right time
when you're supposed to come in.
And if you forget your part, don't sing somebody else's.
We'll sort of come back and see what happens.
Okay, you are going to start off first.
Look at how scared they are.
Here we go.
You have to sing especially loud because you're a minority.
And we have all these other people in the center here.
Manhattan is going to beat the * out of you.
Okay.
Here we go.
By the waters, the waters of Babylon.
By the waters, the waters of Babylon.
By the waters, the waters of Babylon.
Where's the we lay down and wept?
You lay down and stopped.
We lay down and stopped.
People in audiences tend to be like television oriented.
You know, commercial.
7-0.
All right.
Here we go.

By the waters, the waters of Babylon.
I lay down and wept, and wept for thee, Zion.
By the waters, the waters of Babylon.
We lay down and wept, and wept for thee, Zion.
You're listening to WPJ and Starry Eye on the Isle.
This one I tell you.
I heard every note.
You really want to do it?
You almost got it.
This second...
Row, will you please?
This section right in here.
is a little bit too heavy so what I'm going to do is thin you out a little bit
just sort of more of you sort of get over into this side and then the middle
net and I want to let you do it by yourself because you know people are
really I don't think they're as aware as they should be in the fact that they can
make music too it sounded really nice for about two seconds
and we all fell apart here we go start off again
we lay down and wait for these I am we remember the remember the remember these
I again by the waters
waters
Oh
We lay down and wept, and wept for Thee, Zion.
We remember Thee, remember Thee, remember Thee, Zion.
