I WISH THEY'D DO IT NOW (YIDDISH)
(Jacob B)

I was born of Yiddish parents, one day when I was young
That's how the mameloshn became my mother tongue
That I was a shane boychik, my mama did allow
All the maydels ran to kiss me
Oy, I wish they'd do it now!

cho: Oy, I wish they'd do it now!
Oy, I wish they'd do it now!
I've got shpilkes in my gottkes
And I wish they'd do it now!

It's awfully lonely for a lad to lead a single life
I think I'll go to the contra dance and find myself a wife
I have got two brindle calves, likewise a big fat cow
There'll be plenty love and beef-fry for the girl who'll have me now
