A yeder mentsh ken esn in ken trinken, vus er vil.

Vayl dus hot mir der doktor farbotn
In er vays, vus iz beser far mir
Ikh muz leybn af diete, nisht tsu muger, nisht tsu fet,
In ikh zol mekh nit baveygn, shtendik lign shtil in bet.


Ales hot mir der dokter farbotn,
In er maynt, az ikh bin a fakir.
Iz dus a farkerte velt,

In der dokter gayt fresn far mayn gelt.
Far mayn gelt
Far mayn gelt
In der dokter gayt fresn far mayn gelt.


Mayn shitef hot gehat mit mir tsizamen a fabrik,

Ales hot mir der doktor farbotn,
Nor tomer iz dus zeyer vikhtik far dir:

Zol der doktor dus makhn far mayn gelt
Far mayn gelt

Zol der doktor dus makhn far mayn gelt
Zol der doktor zikh mitshen far mayn gelt!
