The Lyrics

And now ladies and gentlement, please join the Bar Mitzvah boy and dance the Miserlou!
I'm gonna teach you a dance...Miserlou

It's a kind of dance
In circles you advance
Five steps, then clap your hands
Miserlou

If others aren't sure
Just nudge them 'cross the floor
And shove them if they drag
Miserlou

Just remember, clap in time until we're done
Then we'll do the Chicken Dance, though it's not fun, want to run

You say, "dance for joy"
For the Bar Mitzvah boy
This dance makes me say, "oy"
Miserlou

Just remember, clap in time until we're done
Then we'll do the Chicken Dance, though it's not fun, want to run

Now I understand
When it's played by the band
I'll make an exit grand
Miserlou (oy oy oy)
The Miserlou (vey is mir)
The Miserlou (la la la la la)...

And I always thought it was a surf tune (thanks to Pulp Fiction and Dick Dale--he does an awesome "Hava Nagila" as well)!

Both "Misery" and "Miserlou" are in Phrygian Dominant mode, I believe. Nice job.
