Lyrics for Yiddisha Nightingale 7 Oct 1911 by Irving Berlin:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Yiddisha Nightingale 7 Oct 1911 | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 56 | | | | Lyrics: | 1st verse:]
Miss Minnie Rosenstein
Had such a voice so fine
Just like
Tetrazzini
Any time that Minnie sang a song
You'd think of real estate seven blocks
long
Some song!
Young Mister Abie Cohn used to call to her home
Just to hear her
singing
Presents he was bringing
Full of bliss!
One night young Abie proposed to the
Miss
Like this!
[chorus:]
Yiddisha nightingale, sing me a song
Your voice
has got such sweetness that it makes me strong
Yiddisha nightingale, sing me a song
I
promise that I'll take you on a long honeymoon
I'd give a dollar to hear you, my queen
I
wouldn't give a nickel to hear Tetrazzini
Just to hear your cultivated voice good and
strong
I'd serve a year in jail
Yiddisha nightingale
Won't you sing me a
song?
[2nd verse:]
Then said young Abie Cohn
"I'm going to buy a home
One
that's made of marble
Dear, where you can warble harmony
And I don't care for expenses you
see
That's me!
I'll go and learn to play on the piano, say
You'll sing while I'm
playing
People will be saying
As they pass
