Di Kinder Lyrics ©2004 by The Alte Rockers Bubbe told me, yes she told me I should date a Jew She told me that my girl’s a shikse And a tchochke, too! Just the other day I heard her pull My Zayde aside, And I could tell they were talking about me, They grabbed their heads and sighed. Bubbe’s all right, Zayde’s all right, They just speak so I can’t hear.... “Di kinder! (SHA!) Di Kinder!” They won’t give themselves away....ay...yea! Zayde said “Your Bubbe’s right, you’re really up tzuRIS!” I said, “Zayde, I listen for hours and still feel like a tourist!” They both plot and scheme together to save me from their fears, Now Bubbe will start whispering, I’ve known her all these years. Bubbe’s all right, Zayde’s all right, They just speak so I can’t hear.... “Di kinder! (SHA!) Di Kinder!” They won’t give themselves away....ay...yea! What happened to all the Yiddish speakers of yesteryear? Every time I got to thinking, where’d they disappear? Then I woke up, Bubbe and Zayde are yelling on the couch Big juicy swearing all over the place, I got my dictionary out— Bubbe’s all right, Zayde’s all right, They just speak so I can’t hear.... “Di kinder! (SHA!) Di Kinder!” They won’t give themselves away....oy vey...vey!
