gefilte fish...


Zogt vos esn yidn mit groys kheyshek    
Bay yenem tsi bey zikh aleyn in shtib    
Si'z pareve. Nit milkhiks un nit fleyshiks,    
Nor a maykhl vos a yeder yid hot lib.    
Zogt vos iz a yeder froys ambitsye    
Me hot es lib, me veyst take far vos,    
S'iz a yidish maykhl mit traditsiye    
Un yedn erev shabes est men dos,
Gefilte fish, gefilte fish.
S'iz a maykhl vos hot toyznt tamen    
Khob tsu ersht farzukht dos bay mayn mamen.    
oy Iz es tayer, iz es voyl,    
A maykhl far dem folk yisroel,    
Esndik tsegeyt es zikh in moyl.    
Oy, di gefilte fish zey zenen yidish.    
Me kumt fun shul, me shtelt zikh makhn kidish,    

In shtub iz sheyn un reyn un frish,    
Me zetst zikh tsum gedektn tish    
Un men derlangt gefilte fish.    
Gefilte fish, gefilte fish.
Der unger hot lib gulyash mit paprike,    
Der polyak hot lib bigos fleysh mit broyt,    
Bay dem rus iz royter borsht der iker,    
Un der yeke hot lib klise mit kroyt.
A mamelige glaykhn di rumener    
Un der gruziner hot lib a shashlik,    
Nor vos gut iz veysn zey nit keyner,    
Un adrabe yidn, zogt mir vos iz gut?
Gefilte fish, gefilte fish.
zis git gefilte fish..
