Original lyrics
Muess is di erschte sach. Hosstu nit kejn muess, is tsu dir a klog, Gib awek di bone un sog a gutn tog. Muess is di besste sach. Muess is di besste sach. Di jidische gemine nemt fun unds danine Un git doch unds tsu essn brojt mit ssacharine. Muess is di besste sach. Muess is di besste sach. In der hejm hob ich gegessn pomerantsn, Hajnt essn mich ojf di lojss mit di wantsn. Muess is di besste sach. Muess is di besste sach. Der jidischer politsjant- er is doch a lobus, Setst ajch ojf der maschine un schikt awek in obus. Muess is di besste sach. Muess is a gute sach. Hosstu nit kejn muess, hob jach far dir a plan- Gib awek di bone un rik sich in pinkertss kesstele aran. Muess is an ejdele sach.
Translated lyrics
Muesmoney is the best thing. The Judenrat (Jewish Council; installed by the nazis in the ghettos during WW II) takes taxes from us, but we only get bread and sugar to eat. At home I ate oranges, now I get eaten by lice and bugs. You can bribe Jewish policemen, too, not to get into the camp. So if you dont have money, hand your food card away and get yourself immortalized in the the communitys death records.
