| Song Lyrics: |
Pincus the Peddler
By Benny (Bell) Samberg
In The Pincus Album (Zion 234, c. 1960)
I'm Pincus the Peddler,
A broken-hearted peddler,
The most unlucky feller that was ever born,
My Mama in Slobodka
Was drinking too much vodka
And left me stranded on a Sunday morn.
My Papa was a plumber
Who doubled as a drummer
I never really saw that feller wear a frown,
His whiskers were the longest
The toughest and the strongest
How well they used to keep his pants from falling down!
Oh otchi tschor-nye-ay
Califor-nye-ay,
Pennsylva-nye-ay,
I'm Pincus the Peddler, Brooklyn U.S.A.
I didn't want to struggle
So I planned a way to smuggle
My Papa and myself into the U.S.A,
We knew just how to do it
And so before we knew it
We landed in Canarsie on a stormy day.
Oh but soon I met a woman,
A dirty rotten woman,
At first she made me happy then she made me blue,
Instead of gaining knowledge
By sending me to college
She sent me to the races and they cleaned me through.
Oh otchi tschor-nye-ay,
Oh Mississipp-i-ay
Oh Albuquerqu-e-ay,
I'm Pincus the Peddler, Brooklyn U.S.A.
'Twas at a game of rummy
She called me a dummy
I punched her in the mouth because that makes me mad,
She lifted her umbrella
So I kicked her down the cellar
And broke the nicest girdle that she ever had.
She went to Ellis Island
To send me back to my land
The things she told the people there was very bad,
I never thought they'd do it
And yet before I knew it
They packed my trunk and sent me back to Petrograd.
Oh otchi tshor-nye-ay,
Good old Jamaica Bay,
Hooray for Rockaway,
I'm Pincus- but no more in the U.S.A. (Shalom) |

fiogf49gjkf0d heard this song in Rockaway in 1946-7. I loved it and I have been trying to remember all the words to it. I finally found it. Thanks.
