I'll take a stab at it

All the Nations of the world have always tried to do us in
but the Jews who kept Torah always knew that we would win
oh they tried to make us fall, oh they tried to make us fear
but they'll never never not forever make us disappear

cuz when we try to keep the mitzvos and keep torah as our guide
Hashem promised avraham that he'd be on our side
oh yes I do, yes I do
know Hashem's promise is true
V'Hi Sheamdah, V'hi sheamdah laavoseinu v'lanu

Oh the mitzrim near the nile tried to throw our babies in
but two Jewish nurses Shifrah and Puah wouldn't listen
Oh we kept our Jewish language and our Jewish clothes the same
and we'll never ever not forever change our Jewish name

cuz when we try....

Oh the Greeks they said our Torah was old-fashioned out of date
and they tried hard to convince us that their way of life was great
Oh we had such strong emunah, for Hashem's name we did fight
The Menorah had its Ora burning for 8 days and nights

cuz when we try...

Oh bad Haman tried to kill us, do you know the reason why
It's because we didn't listen to our Tzaddik Mordechai
but we learned so very quickly that to make the enemy lose
we must never never, not forever stop to be good Jews

cuz when we try....

Nowadays we're in a Galus that seems very hard and long
Since the non jews seem to be our friends we must stay really strong
Things may seem so very tough but Geulah isn't far
We must never, never not forever forget who we are

cuz when we try....

whew, I wondered if I still remembered this!
