Tel Aviv, officially Tel Aviv-Yafo (Hebrew: תֵּל־אָבִיב-יָפוֹ; Arabic: تل أبيب), is the second most populous city in Israel. It has a population of 404,400 within city limits, on a land area of 52 km2 (20 sq mi). The city is located on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline in central-west Israel. In 2010, it was the largest and most populous city in the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area of 3,325,700 residents, known as Gush Dan. The city is governed by the Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality, headed by Ron Huldai. Residents of Tel Aviv are referred to as Tel Avivim.
Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 by the Jewish Community of Jaffa (Hebrew: יָפוֹ Yafo; Arabic: يافا Yāfā), on the outskirts of the ancient port city. The growth of Tel Aviv soon outpaced Jaffa, which had a majority Arab population at the time. Tel Aviv and Jaffa were merged into a single municipality in 1950, two years after the establishment of the State of Israel. Tel Aviv's White City, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, comprises the world's largest concentration of Bauhaus buildings.
An alarm clock is a clock that is designed to make a loud sound at a specific time. The primary use of these clocks is to awaken people from their night's sleep or short naps; they are sometimes used for other reminders as well. To stop the sound, a button or handle on the clock is pressed; but most clocks automatically stop the alarm sound if left unattended long enough. A classic analog alarm clock has an extra hand or inset dial that is used to specify the time at which to activate the alarm.
Traditional mechanical alarm clocks have one or two bells that ring by means of a mainspring that drives a gear that propels a hammer back and forth between the two bells or between the interior sides of a single bell. In some models, the back encasement of the clock itself acts as the bell. In an electric bell-style alarm clock, the bell is rung by an electromagnetic circuit and armature that turns the circuit on and off repeatedly.
Digital alarm clocks can make other noises. Simple battery-powered alarm clocks make a loud buzzing or beeping sound to wake a sleeper, while novelty alarm clocks can speak, laugh, sing, or play sounds from nature.
I'm climbing the stairway that leads from the kitchen
In a bar in Tel Aviv
He asks for my age, he thinks I'm a virgin
That's why he asked for me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody come get me
I dream of my country, I think of my mother
I send her what I can
She thinks I'm a waitress, she's proud I'm a waitress
In the promised land
They promised me work and they promised me TV
They promised I'd never get bored
I'm back on the stairway, I'm higher than ever
They promised that I could get more
Somebody's missing me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody come get me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody come get me
There's a boat down on the shore
Wish I could steal away
I'm back on the farm with my friend Sofia
She's running and laughing out loud
We're down by the river in the middle of summer
I wish he'd get off of me now
Somebody's missing me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody come get me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody come get me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody come get me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody's missing me
Somebody come get me
