Subject: yiddish? take a match give a scratch
Does any one know a song sung in English with a fake Yiddish accent? Only words known as follows
Vunce I hed a cendy store. Business vas so bed, I esked my vife vat to do, end dis is vat she sed: Take a liddle gesoline, put it on de floor. Take a metch, give a scretch, no more cendy store.
I heard this back in the 1950's. Also, a song with the lines:
If you don't know what you're talking about, Ask the soda jerker, He knows what he's talking about From reading the Daily worker.
I guess these are from the New York area. Any ideas?
