Original lyrics
The sun is going down, it's shining through the trees. Another week's gone by, become a memory. So throw away your hammer, there's nothing left to do. Go on home and find the gift that's waiting there for you. (Refrain) It's time to say "good shabbos" 'cause all your work is done. gonna spend a a day together with the holy one Say a special blesing on a cup filled with wine Man and his Creator, it's a very special time. Your Candles will be burning, to fill your home with light Singing songs of shabbos, well into the night so throw away the hammer, there's nothing left to do go on home and find the gift that's waiting there for you (refrain) It's time to say good shabbos 'cause all your work is done Gonna spend the day together with the holy one Say a special blessing on a cup filled with wine Man and his Creator, it's a very special time. You can spend time with your family, you'll study and you'll pray Why not wait 'till after shabbos oh, those nails won't run away oh, so throw away that hammer there's nothing left to do. Go on home and find the gift that's waiting there for you. (refrain)...
