Testudo's Dybbuk

Singer: Shawn Levine
Guitar: Eli Rosenbaum
Drums: Ayal Robkin
Songwriters: Jenny Edelston and Deborah Westerman

There was a lucky Testudo that was made of gold
Who gave luck to students who rubbed his nose
Of past championships and midterms of old
A seasoned charm in his own time

On McKeldin mall he gained respectful fame
Students left sacrifices in his name
He gave out as much luck as he could
To the students who asked
Until the day the Dybbuk came

But on the eve of the great battle
With the terrapins in dream
The old Testudo tossed in his sleep
And wrestled with its Dybbuk
He awoke from the night
Just to tell what he had seen
But he found he was no longer in control

all the students held tall with their
chests in the air, with courage in
their blood and a fire in their stare
it was a grey morning and they all
wondered how they would fare
till Rabbi Mote told them to go home

[CHORUS:]
He said:
I have seen the Dybbuk
and I have discovered
that there is a way to fight him
He has tried to overcome us
But I will not let him
Follow us to the stadium

So, leave Testudo, fly away
We need good luck today
Go find that demon Lilith

So, leave Testudo, fly away
We need good luck today
Go find that demon Lilith
go now you are forgiven

So the Dybbuk was gone
And the luck had returned
And the students showed up and piled into Byrd
The Terrapins trampled
On Ashmodai and his Blue Devils
They had Rabbi Mote to thank

[CHORUS:]
He said:
I have seen the Dybbuk
and I have discovered
that there is a way to fight him
He has tried to overcome us
But I will not let him
Follow us to the stadium

So, leave Testudo, fly away
We need good luck today
Go find that demon Lilith

So, leave Testudo, fly away
We need good luck today
Go find that demon Lilith
go now you are forgiven
