A Few Words About the Chinese New Year - Allan Sherman[00:00:00]

Now this next song[00:00:00]

Was a big hit comedy song before I was born [00:00:02]

And I took this song and modernized it [00:00:05]

I hope [00:00:08]

The hero of the song was originally Jewish [00:00:09]

And I made him Chinese[00:00:12]

Which is no small achievement [00:00:14]

Actually [00:00:15]

Uh and the reason I did that[00:00:17]

Was that a couple months ago [00:00:19]

In January I was appearing in San Francisco [00:00:20]

And it happened to be during the Chinese New Year [00:00:23]

And I learned that to the Chinese people [00:00:26]

This is the year 4664 [00:00:29]

And of course to the Jewish people [00:00:32]

This is the year 5726 [00:00:33]

Which means that for 1062 years [00:00:36]

Jewish people have had to do their own laundry [00:00:40]

Now this is a very tender [00:00:53]

Poignant song actually [00:00:54]

It's beautiful if you want to know [00:00:56]

I figure I better tell you it's beautiful[00:00:58]

Before I start singing it [00:00:59]

Because once I start[00:01:01]

You'll have no way of knowing that it's beautiful [00:01:01]

This is a song about a man who walks into a tailor [00:01:06]

And tells him a very sad story [00:01:10]

And it goes like this[00:01:13]
