'Bar Yohhai, Yud hhochma keduma
Hishkafta lichvodo penima
La"v netivot, reshit hateruma
At keruv mimshahh ziv orecha'

I've sometimes seen the third line of that verse printed as 'Sheloshim
ushtaim netivot', but it's almost impossible to sing it that way, at least
to the melody we use at home. I tell my children: to sing that line, all you
need is 'La"v'.
