OLD LADY'S JEWISH TANGO - Moderato Hassidicamente

Solo:
I was not born in sunny Hispania,
My father came from Rovno Gubernya.
But now I'm here, I'm dancing a tango;
Di dee di! Dee di dee di! I am easily assimilated.
I am so easily assimilated.

I never learned a human language.
My father spoke a High Middle Polish.
In one half-hour I'm talking in Spanish:
Por favor! Toreador!
I am easily assimilated. I am so easily assimilated.

It's easy, it's ever so easy!
I'm Spanish, I'm suddenly Spanish!
And you must be Spanish, too.
Do like the natives do.
These days you have to be In the majority

Men:
Tus labios rubi
Dos rosas que se abren a mi,
Conquistan mi corazon,
Y solo con Una cancion.

Solo:
Mis labios rubi
Dreiviertel Takt, mon très cher ami,
Oui oui, si si ja ja ja, yes yes, da da.
Je ne sais quoi!

Men:
Me muero, me sale una hernia!
Solo:
A long way from Rovno Gubernya!

Solo&Full Choir:
Mis/Tus labios rubi
Dos rosas que se abren a mi,
Conquistan mi corazon,
Y solo con Una divina cancion.
De tus labios rubi!
Rubi! Rubi! Hey!
