Lyrics
I have looked around for a pet name
A pretty pet name it must be
And at last I think I’ve found that pet name
That fits my darling to a “T”
It’s in my heart forever to stay
I sing it a million times a day
Chorus
You are my Tzatskela, you’re heaven to me
My little Tzatskela, my lemon and tea
You are the song I sing, my roses in the spring
To me you’re ev’rything, my Tzatskela
I love your pretty eyes, they sparkle and shine
I love the way they say they’re gonna be mine
And ev’ry time we kiss it’s sweeter than wine
Oh, hi-de, di-de, di-de diddle
Tzatskela means cute and little
Marry me and be my Tzatskela
