Oh salesmen come and salesmen go
And my best one is gone I know
And if he don't come back to me
I'll have to close the factory
Gimme Jack Cohen and I don't care
Gimme Jack Cohen and I don't care
Gimme Jack Cohen and I don't care
But the best it's gone away.
I'm upside down, my head is turning around
Because I gotta sell the house in Levittown
Little David Susskind-
Shut up
Please don't talk; please don't talk
Little David Susskind-
Me first
Then you'll talk
I went down to Mt. Sinai - Hospital
To see my old zaydie there
And I said, Thanks God
For the Blue Cross
And I wish we had the Medicare
God bless you, Jerry Mendelbaum
Let nothing you dismay
This May you had a rotten month
So what is there to say
Let's hope next May is better
And good things will come your way
And you won't have a feeling of dismay
Next May
Oh when the paint'ners
Go marching in
Oh when the paint'ners
Go marching in
Just make sure they put a dropcloth
When the paint'ners go marching in
Yasha got a bottle of Geritol
Geritol, Geritol
Yasha got a bottle of geritol
And he knocked a whole in the wall
That's all
No wall
I gave my love a chicken
It had no bone
I gave my love a cherry
It had no stone
I gave my love a baby
And then, you see
My love got very angry and she said to me
I didn't mind the chicken
Without the bone
I didn't mind the cherry
Without the stone
But when you give a baby
It's just one thing
You oughta give at least
An engagement ring
The Catskill ladies sing this song
Hoo-hah, Hoo-hah,
Sitting on the front porch playing Mah-Jongg
All hoo-hah day
Oh I'm Melvin Rose of Texas
And my friends all call me Tex
When I lived in old New Mexico
They used to call me Mex
When I lived in old Kentucky
They called me Old Kentuck
I was born in old Shamokin
Which is why they call me Melvin Rose
Mammy's little baby loves matzoh, matzoh
Mammy's little baby loves matzoh b****
Mammy's little baby wants pots and pots of
Lots and lots of matzoh b****
Stole the skillet
Stole the lead
Stole a lotta b****
Made of Pesach bread
Stole the chicken
Out of the soup
Stole the pot
And made a lot of chicken soup
Mammy's little baby loves matzoh, matzoh
Mammy's little baby loves matzoh b****
Mammy's little baby wants pots and pots of
Lots and lots of mat-zoh - oh! - b****
And my best one is gone I know
