Song Text

Di mekhutonim geyen, kinder
Lomir zikh freyen shat nokh shat
Der khosn iz gor a vinder
Shpilt a vivat dem khosns tsad!


Ya-ha, ya-ha…
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay


Dem khosns shvester Freydl,
Zi dreyt zikh vi a dreydl, shat nokh shat
Nemt zi arayn in reydl
Un shpilt a vivat dem khosns tsad!


Tra-la-la…


Reb Elye, dem khosns feter,
Dos baykhl glet er, shat nokh shat
Er iz feter fun ale feter…
Shpilt a vivat dem khosns tsad!


Ya-ha, ya-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!


Ot geyt der feter Mindik
Un blozt zikh vi an indik, shat nokh shat
Vos hot men zikh farzindikt?
Shpilt a vivat dem khosns tsad!


Ya-ha, ya-ha…
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay


Mazl tov!
