Benny Bloom went to a swell affair,
given by a real millionaire;
Jenny Golden Dollars was there.
Now comes the bus'ness end,
Benny, to a friend, said:
Introduce me to Miss Jenny, do!"
Soon he whispered:
"Pleased to meet you too!"
Then young Benny winked at Jenny
with his Yiddisha eyes.

Oi, Oi, Oi,
those Yiddisha eyes!
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes,
that shone so bright,
with an Israel light,
eyes that could tell a diamond in the night.
Oi, Oi, Oi,
those Yiddisha eyes!
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes,
He took a look in her bank book,
with his Yiddisha eyes.

Oi, Oi, Oi,
those Yiddisha eyes!
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes,
that shone so bright,
with an Israel light,
eyes that could tell a diamond in the night.
Oi, Oi, Oi,
those Yiddisha eyes!
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes,
He said: "Farewell,"
the tear drops fell
from his Yiddisha eyes.

Ben looked at her finger with his eyes,
next day bought a ring the proper size.
Jenny's bus'ness father got wise.
Now comes the finish part,
Benny from his heart,
began to shout:
"I love your daughter fine!"
Jenny's Pa cried:
"That's how I got mine!"
Benny, bending, saw the ending,
with his Yiddisha eyes.

Oi, Oi, Oi,
those Yiddisha eyes!
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes,
that shone so bright,
with an Israel light,
eyes that could tell a diamond in the night.
Oi, Oi, Oi,
those Yiddisha eyes!
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes,
He took a look in her bank book,
with his Yiddisha eyes.

Oi, Oi, Oi,
those Yiddisha eyes!
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes,
that shone so bright,
with an Israel light,
eyes that could tell a diamond in the night.
Oi, Oi, Oi,
those Yiddisha eyes!
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes,
He said: "Farewell,"
the tear drops fell
from his Yiddisha eyes.
