Zits ikh mir oyfn benkale
Un farkem mir mayne herelakh
Geyt farbay, oy, a shnayder-yung
Un zogt, az ikh bin nit erlekh.
Er zogt, az s’iz tint
Un ikh zog, az (?s’iz tinef?/finef?)
Er zogt, az er hot mikh lib
Un ikh zog: Es iz nit emes.
Zits ikh mir oyfn fentsterl
Un farflekht mir mayne tsepelakh
Geyt farbay, oy, a shuster-yung
Un zogt, az ikh bin nit erlekh.
Er zogt, az s’iz ash,
Un ikh zog, az s’iz koyln
Er zogt, az er vet mikh nemen
Un ikh zog, er vet nit poyln.
