Tsi veyst ir, ver ikh bin?
Ikh bin, ikh bin, ikh bin!
Tsi veyst ir, ver ikh bin?
Un bald vel ikh aykh zugn!
||: Ikh vel aykh zugn, zugn, zugn,
Ikh vel aykh zugn, zugn bald! :||


A kleyn melamedl!
Un veyst ir, mit vemen ikh lern?
Ikh lern, ikh lern, ikh lern!
Mit dray talmidimlekh!
Un veyst ir, vos zey kenen?
Zey kenen, zey kenen, zey kenen!
Un veyst ir, vos zey kenen –
Un bald vel ikh aykh zugn!
||: Ikh vel aykh zugn, zugn, zugn,
Ikh vel aykh zugn, zugn bald! :||


Eyner ken dem alefbeys zogn,
Der tsveyter ken di kats shlogn
Der driter: khasene hobn…
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay-ay!


Un veyst ir, vemen er nemt?
Er nemt, er nemt, er nemt!
Dem beders tekhterl
Un vifil nadn krigt er?
Er krigt, er krigt, er krigt!
Un vifil nadn krigt er?
Un bald vel ikh aykh zugn!
||: Ikh vel aykh zugn, zugn, zugn,
Ikh vel aykh zugn, zugn bald! :||


Fuftsik zogt men,
Fertsik meynt men,
Draysik tseylt men,
Tsvantsik git men -
Un tsen kerblekh iz alts nito,
Tsen kerblekh iz alts nito!
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay-ay!
