Krenitz (Babinyu) - 8th Day

Every morning from the kitchen where she’s cooking

My Bubbe she tell you your good lookin

The kids, they’ll play you patche hentelach

The Bubbe, she’ll make you fish and kneidlach

But the baker and the butcher, they’re so lonely

My Bubbe, the kettle’s whistle for me

My shtetl Krenitz is calling your name

My shtetl is calling

But there ain’t no highway back to Krenitz

There ain’t no train inside this ride

I close my eyes and say

Hello L.A.

Welcome to the shtetl of mine

Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu

Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu

Ay, ay, ay, my shtetl’s calling

Shpillin shoin klezmuranlach

Naba shoin kneidlach

Der Bubbe zoil zein gezunt un freilach

Everyone’s your friend in this cobblestone land

Everybody seems to know your Bubbe

They’ll see the wine and vacation with you

And then they’ll send regards to Shloime

But the baker and the butcher, they’re so lonely

My Bubbe, the kettle’s whistle for me

My shtetl Krenitz is calling your name

My shtetl is calling

But there ain’t no highway back to Krenitz

There ain’t no train inside this ride

I close my eyes and say

Hello L.A.

Welcome to the shtetl of mine

Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu

Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu

Ay, ay, ay, my shtetl’s calling

Shpillin shoin klezmuranlach

Der Bubbe zoil zein gezunt un freilach

But there ain’t no highway back to Krenitz

And there ain’t no train inside this ride

I close my eyes and say

Hello L.A.

Oh, welcome to the shtetl of mine

Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu
