Far vos zol yikh nisht kenen loyfn, shpringen vy der tsveyter? Far vos zitz zikh un gey nisht oyf der velt der breyter? Far vos loyft mayn khaber un yogt zikh nokh gelt?

Far vos zol ikh nisht ton dos zelbe vos yener Shmuklen shvindlen un oyszen vos shener? Vos nutstu mir, du hartz, tsu hayntiker velt? Du shlofst, du kholemst, ven es kumt nor tsu gelt.
