HERR SCHULTZ: [spoken] Now the only word you have to know to understand this little song is the Yiddish word "meeskite". Meeskite means: ugly, funny looking... Meeskite means:
[singing] Meeskite, meeskite Once upon a time there was a Meeskite, meeskite Looking in the mirror He would say What an awful shock, I've got a face That could stop a clock.
Meeskite, meeskite Such a pity on him He is a Meeskite, meeskite God up in his Heaven left him out on a shaky limb He put a meeskite on him!
[spoken] Listen, he grew up. Even meeskites grow up.
[singing] And soon in the Heder (means Hebrew School) He sat beside this little girl And when he asked her, her name She replied: "I'm Pearl!"
He ran to the Zeiddah (that's grandfather) And said in the scratchy voice of his You told me I was the homeliest Well, gramps, you're wrong, Pearl is!
Meeskite, meeskite No one ever saw a bigger Meeskite, meeskite Ev'rywhere a flaw And maybe that is the reason why I'm going to love her, until I die!
Meeskite, meeskite Oh, it is a pleasure, she's a Meeskite, meeskite She's the one I'll treasure For I thought there could never be A bigger meeskite, than me!
[spoken] Listen to what happened:
[singing] And so they were married And in a year she turned and smiled: "I'm afraid, I am going to have a child".
Nine months she carried Worrying how's that child would look And all the cousins, well, worried too, But what a turn fate took:
Gorgeous, gorgeous They produced a baby that was Gorgeous, gorgeous Crowding 'round the cradle All relatives awed and wooed He ought to pose for a baby-food.
Gorgeous, gorgeous Would I tell a lie? He's simply Gorgeous, gorgeous Who'd have ever thought That we will see such a flawless gem, Out of two meeskites like them?
[spoken] Wait! Wait! This story has a moral. All my stories have morals:
[singing] Moral, moral Yes indeed the story has a Moral, moral "Thou you not a beauty It is nevertheless quite true There may be beautiful things in you".
Meeskite, meeskite Listen to a fable of the Meeskite, meeskite Anyone responsible for loveliness large or small Is not a meeskite at all!
