Now you've got it, Leeneia - Hoffman and Manning were having fun, and they wrote the song in Yinglish, a delightful mix of English, Yiddish, and occasional German. They had a good time writing this cute song, and it shouldn't be taken too seriously. If want to explore this, take a look at Leo Rosten's wonderful book, The Joys of Yiddish. The book is an absolute classic, and it is so much fun to read.
