Lyrics
Chorus:
“First you find a lady that is smart in the head
Then you ask her pa how much you get when you wed
Never mind the good looks or the fancy pompadoodles
See that she can cook and make gefilta fish and noodles
Ask her if she’ll help you when the bus’ness goes bad
If she’ll take in washing, scrub the floor, not get mad
If she’s honest and frank
And has money in the bank
Oi! Oi! that’s Yiddisha love”
