At The Yiddish Cabaret 1913 Al Jolson

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 26 Feb 2005

You never see the neighbors
in their homes no more.
You never see them standing,
talking by the door.
Since Abram Rosenstein,
he ain't no friend of mine,
opened a cabaret! say
Everybody who is living in our block
as soon as it becomes to be near eight o'clock
then they close up their flat
guess where you'll find them at
the only one home is the cat 'cause

Everybody's at the Yiddish cabaret
if the place was open
they'd be there all day.
Beck le Klein and Jacob Stein
snaps his fingers then he lingers
giving tips to all the singers.
Just you hear him eating soup
to "Robert E. Lee" and drinking beer
to "Hitchy Koooo"
Beckie Klein is getting bolder
watch her twist and shake her shoulder
every one there says
Beckie's a bear
at The Yiddish Yiddish Cabaret.

Everybody's at the Yiddish cabaret
if the place was open
they'd be there all day.
Beck le Klein and Jacob Stein
snaps his fingers then he lingers
giving tips to all the singers.
Just you hear him eating soup
to "Robert E. Lee" and drinking beer
to "Hitchy Koooo"
Beckie Klein is getting bolder
watch her twist and shake her shoulder
every one there says
Beckie's a bear
at The Yiddish Yiddish Cabaret.

Sam Levine he played piano
from the start any song you'd call for
he could play by heart.
And all the Opras too
Sammy could play for you,
he plays them all a la carte! smart
They've got a Texas Jimmy dancer
she's O.K. She certainly does
the Turkish trout first class way
Then there is Sam my Fink
gets drunk on just one drink!
Then he owns the whole cabaret say!

Everybody's at the Yiddish cabaret
if the place was open
they'd be there all day.
Beck le Klein and Jacob Stein
snaps his fingers then he lingers
giving tips to all the singers.
Just you hear him eating soup
to "Robert E. Lee" and drinking beer
to "Hitchy Koooo"
Beckie Klein is getting bolder
watch her twist and shake her shoulder
every one there says
Beckie's a bear
at The Yiddish Yiddish Cabaret.

Everybody's at the Yiddish cabaret
