Meeskite - Jack Gilford[00:00:01]

Now the only word you have to know to understand this[00:00:01]

Little song is the Yiddish word meeskite[00:00:05]

Meeskite means: ugly funny looking Meeskite means[00:00:10]

Meeskite meeskite[00:00:16]

Once upon a time there was a[00:00:18]

Meeskite meeskite[00:00:20]

Looking in the mirror[00:00:21]

He would say[00:00:23]

What an awful shock[00:00:24]

I've got a face[00:00:26]

That could stop a clock[00:00:27]

Meeskite meeskite[00:00:30]

Such a pity on him[00:00:31]

He is a[00:00:33]

Meeskite meeskite[00:00:33]

God up in his Heaven left him out on a shaky limb[00:00:35]

He put a meeskite on him[00:00:40]

Listen he grew up Even meeskites grow up[00:00:43]

And soon in the Heder (means Hebrew School)[00:00:48]

He sat beside this little girl[00:00:52]

And when he asked her her name[00:00:55]

She replied: "I'm Pearl"[00:00:58]

He ran to the Zeiddah (that's grandfather)[00:01:03]

And said in the scratchy voice of his[00:01:06]

You told me I was the homeliest[00:01:10]

Well gramps you're wrong Pearl is[00:01:13]

Meeskite meeskite[00:01:17]

No one ever saw a bigger[00:01:18]

Meeskite meeskite[00:01:20]

Ev'rywhere a flaw[00:01:22]

And maybe that is the reason why[00:01:23]

I'm going to love her until I die[00:01:26]

Meeskite meeskite[00:01:30]

Oh it is a pleasure she's a[00:01:32]

Meeskite meeskite[00:01:34]

She's the one I'll treasure[00:01:35]

For I thought there could never be[00:01:37]

A bigger meeskite than me[00:01:40]

Listen to what happened[00:01:43]

And so they were married[00:01:45]

And in a year she turned and smiled[00:01:49]

I'm afraid I am going to have a child[00:01:52]

Nine months she carried[00:02:00]

Worrying how's that child would look[00:02:03]

And all the cousins well worried too[00:02:06]

But what a turn fate took[00:02:10]

Gorgeous gorgeous[00:02:15]

They produced a baby that was[00:02:17]

Gorgeous gorgeous[00:02:20]

Crowding 'round the cradle[00:02:22]

All relatives awed and wooed[00:02:23]

He ought to pose for a baby-food[00:02:27]

Gorgeous gorgeous[00:02:32]

Would I tell a lie[00:02:33]

He's simply[00:02:35]

Gorgeous gorgeous[00:02:36]

Who'd have ever thought[00:02:37]

That we will see such a flawless gem[00:02:39]

Out of two meeskites like them[00:02:43]

Wait Wait This story has a moral All my stories have morals[00:02:47]

Moral moral[00:02:54]

Yes indeed the story has a[00:02:56]

Moral moral[00:02:58]

"Thou you not a beauty[00:03:00]

It is nevertheless quite true[00:03:02]

There may be beautiful things in you"[00:03:06]

Meeskite meeskite[00:03:13]

Listen to a fable of the[00:03:15]

Meeskite meeskite[00:03:17]

Anyone responsible for loveliness large or small[00:03:19]

Is not a meeskite at all[00:03:31]
