Yiddish Lyrics

Ikh bin an opgekokhter, dos ze ikh shoyn ak
Ba mir in hartsn zit es vi a galizianer borsht
Es shnindt in di oygn, der kop vert mir azoi dil
Un mayn lung un leber tanzn a kadril
Zi is vi a feygele vos flit
Zi is vi a blimele vos blit

Refrain

Oy - I like she - Oy, oy, oy, I like she
Zi is mayn glik, zi iz mayn shterbn
Ohn ir ken ikh dokh nit lebn-in hartzn burtchet ale mol
Ir figur un ire lokn, I tell you people is no use talkin
I like she and dats all.

Ikh geh arum a blaser un hob shtendig nor di blues
Trink ikh a gloz vaser ze ikh ir in gloz
Before ikh leg mir shlof, tu ikh oys mayn suit
Nem ikh mir a vane, hob ikh zi in bod-
Tseit ikh hob zi derzen yene nakht, hot zi a revoluzie do gemakht.

Refrain

Leyg ikh mir zikh shlofn azoi kholem ikh fun ir
Un mir dakht zi zitzt shoyn noent lebn mir
Ikh nem zi halzn, kushn, I''ll ruf zi liber shatz
Ikh khap zikh oyf derze ikh as ikh kush di shvarze katz
Vi a sheyn feygele zi flit, vi a sheyn blimele zi blit.

Translation

refrain is also;
Ire fees un ire zokn,I tell you people it's no use talkin
I like she and I like she and dots all.

It should be sheyndt not shnindt[?]

taken from a songbook prepared by Malke Gottlieb for a Friends of Yiddish annual weekend held in 1994 at Solway House
