Lyrics
1. Ignatz, Ignatz, sing the song
That’s filled mit pretty words
Sigh it, sigh it, cry it, cry it
Like the little birds
Sing it, sing it, ring it, ring it
In my loving ear
Oi, what a jingle! how I love to mingle
Mit you every time I hear
CHORUS
Fol de rol dol, dol de rol dol
Fol de rol dol doi
Oi! my Yiddisha turtle dove
Flap your wings and crow mit love
Fol de rol dol, dol de rol dol
Fol de rol dol doi
I’m sick, lovesick, come kiss me quick
Fol de rol dol doi
2. Stop it, stop it, Ignatz, drop it
That too much hot stuff
Grab me, grab me, baby nab me
Darlink, treat me rough
Kiss me, kiss me, don’t you miss me
I can’t stand the blow
I get skiddiddish when you sing that Yiddish
You’re my Hebrew Romeo
