Thread Name: Lyr ADD: We're going to a vedding
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We're going to a vedding
Latecomer to this thread but how wonderful to see the words of this song that I heard a very long time ago. Not quite in my dotage, I’m trying to find the words to ‘Why don’t they give a Yiddisher boy a chance.” It’s a lament about the Royals always marrying amongst themselves although today a ‘commoner’ is marrying Harry.

Also, my grandfather used to sing what sounded like Toni Godl (short O in Toni) totally failing to find the music and lyrics to that and also “Moishe Cohen went to the races, lost his gatkes and his braces”. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
