Notes
I HEARD THIS SONG AT AGES 13 - 14 WHEN I BELONGED TO THE BOYS CONGREGATION AND SISTERHOOD OF EAST NEW YORK BROOKLYN I heard a similar song from my grandfather in South Africa: When it's pesachtime in Dixieland Gee let me take you by the hand Ther'll be tsimmes and shmaltz lokshen and zaltz kugel and farfel and matzoh as well There will be a jubilee 'cause we'll all be on a spree Ther'll be bobba and zaide sitting at the seder davening in ragtime with a ba-ba-badede-ba there will be a big brass band when it's pesachtime in dixie pesachtime in dixie pesachtime in dixieland Does anyone have any more information
