Oi, Oi,
Mother I'm in love,
Oi, Oi,
Father I'm in love,
Oi, Oi, don't know what to do,
Maggie breaks my heart
for me in two.
Mother said: "Tell me, Moritz lad,
Maggie's not a Yiddisha name."
Father said: "I am getting mad,
It don't pay to play a love game.
Don't be a wise guy Moritz.
Make your little plan,
Love like your father, Moritz,
Like a Yiddisha man."

First you find a lady
that is smart in the head;
Then you ask her pa
how much you get when you wed.
Never mind the good looks or
that fancy pompadoodles,
See that she can cook
and make gefilta fish and noodles.
Ask her is she'll help you
when the bus'ness goes bad;
If she'll take in washing,
scrub the floor, not get mad.
If she's honest and frank,
and has money in the bank,
Oi! Oi!
That's Yiddisha love.

"Bye Bye!"
Moritz said next day,
"Bye Bye!"
Moritz ran away,
"Bye Bye!"
Moritz left an note,
"Maggie she eloped with me."
He wrote.
Passed one week, Moritz said: "I'm sick;
Maggie spends more than I can make.
Fancy skirt and she makes a flirt
Wears a bundle of hair that's a fake.
She run away this morning.
with an Irish lad.
Father he gave me warning,
I didn't b'lieve what he said:"
