Yiddish Lyrics

Mu asapru mu adabru oyscho, oyscho, yam-ti-di-day-dam?
Ver ken zogn, ver ken redn
Vos di eyns batayt?

Eyner iz Got, un Got iz eyner
Un vayter keyner.

....vos di tsvey batayt?
Tsvey zenen di liches,
Un eyner iz doch Got,Un Got is eyner...

....vos di dray batayt?
Dray zenen di oves,
Tsvey zenen...

....vos di fir batayt?
Fir zenen di imes.
Dray zenen...

....vos di finef bayayt?
Finef zenen di chamushim.
Fir zenen...

....vos di zeks batayt?
Zeks zenen di mishnayes.
Finef zenen...

....vos di zibn batayt?
Zibn zenen di vochenteyg.
Zeks zenen...
