Song Text
Zitst zikh der kreymer in kreyml,
Dos unterste kreyml fun gas.
Er zitst un er vart oyf a koyne,
un in droysn iz fintster un nas.
Er zitst un er vart oyf a koyne,
Un trakht zikh in an inyen arayn.
A yidishe melukhe, raboysay –
Tsu kent ir dos grintlekh farshteyn?
||: S’volt geveyn a melukhe fun geoynim!
A melukhe fun melokhim aleyn. :||
Plutsling bavayzt zikh a koyne!
A koyne, vi an arbl groys…
Er beyt far a kopike hering,
Un shlogt im fun inyen aroys…
Derzeyn fun vaytn dem pidyen
Di hunderter kreymer fun gas:
||: Zey fresn im oyf mit di oygn,
Mit oygn fun kine un has. :||
Zitst zikh der kreymer in kreyml,
Dos unterste kreyml fun gas.
||: Er zitst un er vart oyf a koyne,
un in droysn iz fintster un nas. :||
