Lyr Req: Yiddish princess

I vaguely remember a schoolyard rhyme that when something like
    There was Yiddish princess....
    When she did not say her prayers
    Mamma used to pull her hairs
    When she did not say her baruchas
    Papa gave her a patch in the tucchus

Sound familiar to anyone? Probably a New York thing

I'm here, but clueless. Maybe it is a New York thing. (I'm from Philadelphia.) Now, I do have a vague memory of seeing this rhyme on the 'Cat not too long ago, so somebody with more time than I have right now might try searching for it. Sorry!

Aloha,
Mark

What I do remember is that the chapter on Marilyn Monroe's
marriage to Arthur Miller in the Norman Mailer biography of the
star MARILYN is titled "the jewish princess".
