Not easy, this. 'Zing' instead of 'sing' shows it is Yiddish, but nothing close to it is in the largest online-database of Yiddisch songs. Also the largest database of German songs (ingeb.org) has no hit for these words.

I'll have a look at home but without much hope.

The dubious bit is 'Augen zu'. The old German way of writing a 'z' is similar to writing a 'g'.
