Lyrics
Refrain
Yiddisha nightingale, sing me a song
Your voice has got such sweetness
That it makes me strong
Yiddisha nightingale, sing me a song
I promise that I’ll take you on a long honeymoon
I’d give a dollar to hear you, my queen
I wouldn’t give a nickel to hear Tetrazzini
Just to hear your cultivated voice good and strong
I’d serve a year in jail
Yiddisha nightingale
Won’t you sing me a song?
