"Tzotskele (My Darling)" lyrics
I have looked around for a pet name, a pretty pet name it must be
And at last I think I found that pet name, that fits you darling to a T
It's in my heart forever to stay, I sing it a million times a day
You are my tzotskele, you're heaven to me
My little tzotskele, my lemon n' tea
You are the song I sing, my roses in the spring
To me you're everything my tzotskele
I love your purdy eyes, they sparkle and shine
I love the way they say, they're gonna be mine
And every time we kiss, it's sweeter than wine, oh
Hi-de, di-dee, di-dee, diddle
Tzotskele means cute and little
Marry me and be my tzotskele
She's my tzotskele!
Ya know folks, if you don't know the meaning of tzotskele
It's an endearing pet name like saying, uh, "you're outta this world," and that's the way she should be
Or, you know, "you're the most," or something like that
Now, you know, I won her in a raffle; she was the second prize. The first prize was a bottle of Manischewitz
Seriously, we met at Grossinger's, introduced by the social director
He looked at me and said "Cab, this is it"
I looked back at him and I said, "This is what?" I haven't found out yet
You know, I carry her picture around with me and I show it to my friends
I lose more friends like that!
You've heard of gals bathing in bubbles, champagne?
Well this gal bathes in sour cream! But I love her and I'm gonna marry her
This is the deal: she used to go up in one of them satellites. She's got some relatives up there I think
My little tzotskele, you smile and I melt
My little tzotskele, you're [?]
Each time I hold you near, you fill my heart with cheer
Oy vey, oy vey, smir, my tzotskele
You've got a million charms I really admire
The way you look at me just sets me on fire
You seem to satisfy my every desire, oh
Tzotskele, this ain't no [?]
You're a dunce, a [?]
Marry me, and be my tzotskele!
And at last I think I found that pet name, that fits you darling to a T
It's in my heart forever to stay, I sing it a million times a day
You are my tzotskele, you're heaven to me
My little tzotskele, my lemon n' tea
You are the song I sing, my roses in the spring
To me you're everything my tzotskele
I love your purdy eyes, they sparkle and shine
I love the way they say, they're gonna be mine
And every time we kiss, it's sweeter than wine, oh
Hi-de, di-dee, di-dee, diddle
Tzotskele means cute and little
Marry me and be my tzotskele
She's my tzotskele!
Ya know folks, if you don't know the meaning of tzotskele
