Dire-gelt, un oy oy oy!
Dire-gelt un bozhe moy!
Dire-gelt un grodyevoy -
Dire-gelt muz men tsoln!
Kumt arayn der stroz [struzh],
Nemt er arop dos hitl.
Un az men tsult keyn dire-gelt –
Hengt er aroys a kvitl!
||: Dire-gelt, un oy oy oy!
Dire-gelt un bozhe moy!

Dire-gelt muz men tsoln! :||
Kumt arayn der balabos
Mit dem grobn shtekn
Un az men git nit keyn dire-gelt,
Shtelt er aroys di betn!
