Meeskite - Peter Sallis[00:00:00]

Written by：Fred Ebb/John Kander[00:00:00]

Now the only word you have to know to understand this[00:00:00]

Little song is the yiddish word meeskite[00:00:04]

Meeskite means ugly funny looking[00:00:08]

Meeskite means[00:00:13]

Meeskite meeskite[00:00:15]

Once upon a time there was a[00:00:16]

Meeskite meeskite[00:00:18]

Looking in the mirror[00:00:19]

He would say[00:00:20]

What an awful shock[00:00:21]

I've got a face[00:00:24]

That could stop a clock[00:00:24]

Meeskite meeskite[00:00:27]

Such a pity on him[00:00:29]

He is a[00:00:30]

Meeskite meeskite[00:00:30]

God up in his heaven left him out on a shaky limb[00:00:32]

He put a meeskite on him[00:00:36]

Listen he grew up even meeskites grow up[00:00:39]

And soon in the heder means hebrew school[00:00:44]

He sat beside this little girl[00:00:47]

And when he asked her her name[00:00:50]

She replied I'm pearl[00:00:52]

He ran to the zeiddah that's grandfather[00:00:57]

And said in the scratchy voice of his[00:01:00]

You told me I was the homeliest[00:01:03]

Well gramps you're wrong pearl is[00:01:07]

Meeskite meeskite[00:01:10]

No one ever saw a bigger[00:01:12]

Meeskite meeskite[00:01:13]

Ev'rywhere a flaw[00:01:15]

And maybe that is the reason why[00:01:16]

I'm going to love her until I die[00:01:19]

Meeskite meeskite[00:01:23]

Oh it is a pleasure she's a[00:01:25]

Meeskite meeskite[00:01:26]

She's the one I'll treasure[00:01:28]

For I thought there could never be[00:01:29]

A bigger meeskite than me[00:01:32]

And so they were married[00:01:38]

And in a year she turned and smiled[00:01:40]

I'm afraid I am going to have a child[00:01:44]

Nine months she carried[00:01:51]

Worrying how's that child would look[00:01:54]

And all the cousins well worried too[00:01:58]

But what a turn fate took[00:02:00]

Gorgeous gorgeous[00:02:05]

They produced a baby that was[00:02:08]

Gorgeous gorgeous[00:02:10]

Crowding 'round the cradle[00:02:12]

All relatives awed and wooed[00:02:14]

He ought to pose for a baby food[00:02:18]

Gorgeous gorgeous[00:02:22]

Would I tell a lie[00:02:25]

He's simply[00:02:26]

Gorgeous gorgeous[00:02:27]

Who'd have ever thought[00:02:29]

That we will see such a flawless gem[00:02:30]

Out of two meeskites like them[00:02:34]

Wait wait this story has a moral all my stories have morals[00:02:38]

Moral moral[00:02:44]

Yes indeed the story has a[00:02:47]

Moral moral[00:02:48]

Thou you not a beauty[00:02:51]

It is nevertheless quite true[00:02:52]

There may be beautiful things in you[00:02:57]

Meeskite meeskite[00:03:03]

Listen to a fable of the[00:03:05]

Meeskite meeskite[00:03:07]

Anyone responsible for loveliness large or small[00:03:09]

Is not a meeskite at all[00:03:21]
