James E.F Landau - Oy Vey lyrics

BLUMBERG

I am using the word "oy",

True, he did at times annoy,

Pittman was a bad, bad boy,

But why must someone employ

Forces that they could deploy,

And have them seek-and-destroy

Just when we were all full of joy

And gay?

Oy vey!

Although I eat bagels and lox,

It still seems a paradox

That when the Grim Reaper stalks

Up behind and finally knocks

At the door of who gives talks

That exalt the Aryan stocks

That I should break the ice blocks

To say,

Oy vey!

Could this be the start of something eschatologicaL?

Well, even if you find that illogicaL,

Let us pray

For a happier dé-

Nouement and day ----

Oy vey!
