Ken Song
North west ken is now back again
so get on the bus to finchley road
you'll get a feeling in your abdomen
north west ken makes you feel at home in
if you're feeling bluish
and want to feel Jewish
we're the ken to take you by the hand
(by the hand!)
Cos there aint so many places with so many smiling faces
we're the best ken in the land!
North west ken na na na na na
we're funky we're cool we always have fun
something somethig something.....

South Manchester Ken 1992-2000
Ken Song (Tune: Israelite, by Desmond Dekker & The Aces)
Wake up Sunday morning, Bagels for breakfast
And I know what I want to do first,
oooooohhh, South Manchester Ken
South Man Ken's a bangin' and a kickin'
I never knew Sundays could be so wicked,
oooooohhh, South Manchester Ken
We like mixing with devine people,
We like talking about Habonim Dror,
oooooohhh, South Manchester Ken

Glasgow Ken 1992 - now!
Ken Song (Tune: And I would walk 500 miles, by The Proclaimers)
When I wake up,
I know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna come right down and spend the day with you.
And when I'm dressing, in my movement shirt, you know I canny wait to walk right into you.
And I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more,
Just to be the one who walks 1,000 miles down to Habo Dror
Irn Bru, och aye de nu, Irn Bru, och aye de nu,
Glasgow Ken, och aye de nu, Glagow Ken, och aye de nu.

North Manchester Ken 2005
Ken Song (Tune: Is this way to amirillo, by Petery Kay)
So the ken is starting,
Every Sunday we’ll be partying,
The madrichim will be there,
All your friends will be waiting for you there
If you want to make friends.......du du du du du
See some people from school.....du du du du du
Come to ken on Sundays.......
WE’LL MAKE IT REALLY COOOOOOOOL
IS THIS THE WAY TO NORTH MAN KEN,
THE MADRICHIM GIVE IT TEN OUT OF TEN,
YOU KNOW ITS GREAT AT NORTH MAN KEN,
WHERE SWEETS & CHOCOLATE WAIT FOR YOU,
Sha la la la la la la la......clap clap north man ken
Sha la la la la la la la......clap clap habo dror
Sha la la la la la la la......clap clap north man ken
Where sweets and chocolates wait for you
CHORUS
