[1st verse:]
|
Benny Bloom went to a swell affair
|
Given by a real millionaire
|
Jenny Golden Dollars was there
|
Now comes the bus'ness end
|
Benny, to a friend, said, "Introduce me to Miss Jenny, do!"
|
Soon he whispered, "Pleased to meet you too!"
|
Then young Benny winked at Jenny
|
With his Yiddisha eyes
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Oi, Oi, Oi, those Yiddisha eyes!
|
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes
|
That shone so bright, with an Israel light
|
Eyes that could tell a diamond in the night
|
Oi, Oi, Oi, those Yiddisha eyes!
|
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes!
|
He took a look in her bankbook
|
With his Yiddisha eyes
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Ben looked at her finger with his eyes
|
Next day bought a ring the proper size
|
Jenny's bus'ness father got wise!
|
Now comes the finish part
|
Benny, from his heart, began to shout, "I love your daughter fine!"
|
Jenny's pa cried, "That's how I got mine!"
|
Benny, bending, saw the ending
|
With his Yiddisha eyes
|
|
[2nd refrain:]
|
Oi, Oi, Oi, those Yiddisha eyes!
|
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes
|
That shone so bright, with an Israel light
|
Eyes that could tell a diamond in the night
|
Oi, Oi, Oi, those Yiddisha eyes!
|
Benny had those Yiddisha eyes!
|
He said, "Farewell," the teardrops fell
|
From his Yiddisha eyes
|
