The sentence structure sounds like German, with sarcasm. It's mainly the verb at the end of the sentence, I think. That would be the Yiddish influence....

And freda, linguistics, particularly etymology do come up a fair bit. Normally as a song origin thread, and people start looking at the language, especially any words that stand out as unusual, as clues to where and when the songs comes from.
