Original lyrics
A sample from "Where is my Pants?" (sung to the tune of "Where is my Heart?": Wherever I look, I'm worried and verblungered; My bathrobe is here, But where is my pants? De closet is full Mit ties and pajamas; My cufflinks are there, But Where is my pants? It's so hard to realize, Dat you dun't put t'ings on a place; I could wear a fancy coit: But without pants iss bin ein disgrace! I gedenk I remember, It happened last September; So Honey, don't be braigas; I lost my pants in Las Vegas! And from "Cheder Days" (sung to the tune of "School Days"): Cheder days, cheder days, Dear old alef-beys days; Reading and writing and oy, hab glick; De raps on the k'nuckles from teacher's stick... (Lapse into monologue:) Ah, yes, I remember cheder; not the beautiful, wonderful cheders that you boys and girls go to today; my cheder was wedged in between a mikvah and a sausage factory...
