Bei mir bist du schön
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön
Again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "bella, bella"
Even say "wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Bei mir bist du schön
There I said it again
So kiss me and say you understand

Bei mir bist du schön
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön
Again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "bella, bella"
Even say "wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Bei mir bist du schön
There I said it again
So kiss me and say you understand

Bei mir bist du schön
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön
Again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "bella, bella"
Even say "wunderbar"

"I'd Rather Be in New Orleans"

Who wouldn't ayy
I heard this as a child and until this day I thought it was: My Dear Mister Shane.
Would love to hear Ella's version too. I've danced to it, and let me tell you it gets your heart rate up towards the end! One of my all-time faves.
Flying  neutrons says it all

Obscure reference    the bear missed the train,  the bear missed the train and now hes walking.    circa 1972  NYC  WOR  10 pm

They seem to fly right through and are gone again in a flash.

The original is in Yiddish though, isn't it?  I think they are rather trying to approximate that sort of pronunciation.
 
Yiddish it is.  My mother sang this to me when I was a youngin lo some 60+ years ago.  Things were different then, at least to me.
Like this version by The Hot Sardines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4-XIKt-ADs,  They sped it up quite a bit.
Google Translate thinks this is Russian!

When you're hot, you're hot!
Very cool!
Completely stumped me! Sure sounds like Squirrel Nut Zippers! Are they related?
Bummer, it's not on Napster :(

Yeah, baby.
I like this song, but not so much this cover, though I dug that clarinet! Patti M.
Nice guitar work.

I had the same thought.
thanks for something refreshingly different! Would not listen to this all day, but as a refreshing break it's cool
