KALT VASSER Secunda SOJC

Refr.
Zetz, und gis kalt Vaser, kalt Vaser, kalt Vaser
Zetz, und gis kalt Vaser, kalt Vaser, kalt Vaser
kalt Vaser gis und Zetz.

Ich hob a Chawer Yashe, er hot a Kale eyech.

Brent di Libe men hot im geshtelt a Khupe bald,
und noch der Khupe zog ich im,
vos steyst du vi a yolt? Oy!

Refr.

Dokter, klogt zich Yashe, mayn Vayb vil nit fargeyn
Ich hob gelernt Rashi, s'hot nit geholfen neyn.
T'hilim oych gezogt hob ich,
S'iz keyn Hilf faran.
Zogt der Dokter: Ir folgt mir,
s'iz nor do eyn Plan: Oy !

Tsvey altishke bitsfunes, er nayntsik, achtsik zi
Next-door bay koni-munis un zey hern zich tsi
Ich bin mekane zey, shrayt er, zey lebn, s'geyt a Roych
Zogt im di alte: Kum aher, un to doszelbe oych. Oy!

Yente, Social Tutsel, Berl, shmerl too
Un ich, Shnitsel-Putsel un die vos zitsn do
Nemt zich ale on mit Koyech, sing mit all your might
Lost mir hern in der hoych, zusamen mit mir shrayt: Oy!

Translation

Translation:

Zetst un giz kalt Vaser
is the water pooring in the russian steambath

I have a friend Yshe he has a bride as well
Her name is Mashe, may her womb be healthy
The love burnd, the come under the Khupe
After the Khupe i say to him
what are you staying like a fool?
Setzt und giz kalt vaser

Doktor, Yashe complains,
my wife wont become pregnant
I have learnt Rashi it didnt help oh no!
Psalms I sayd also, id didnt help either
Says the dokter, you shall follow my instructions
There is only one plan:
Setzt....

An old couple, he ninety, she's eighty
Listen at their nextdoor neighbor
How I do envy them, he says,
they live, that smoke comes out (very hot love)
Says his old wife, come over here
And do the same to me.
Setzt ....
