Lyrics:
Modah Modah Modah Ani
I’m as thankful
As I can be
Wake up each morning
First thing I say
Is thank you to G*D
for this day
Thank you for sun, Thank you for rainbows,
Thank you for giggles,Thank you for teachers,
Thank you for music, Thank you for coloring books,
Thank you for teddy bears, Thank you for slip & slides
Modeh Modeh Modeh Ani
I’m as thankful
As I can be
Wake up each morning
First thing I say
Is thank you to G*D
For this day
Thank you for hugs, Thank you for families
Thank you for dogs and cats, Thank you for Mickey Mouse,
Thank you for PJs, Thank you for Facebook,
Thank you for Poptarts, Thank you for dancing
Modah Modah Modah Ani
I’m as thankful
As I can be
Wake up each morning
First thing I say
Is thank you to G*D
For this day
**Hebrew is a gendered language, Modeh is the masculine and Modah is the feminine form of the verb meaning ‘giving thanks’
