Been listening to this album on repeat while writing a review, and this track in particular is my fave. I would have believed Daniel Kahn wrote it himself, it's so on brand for him, but no: it's a translation of an equally funny 1963 German song by Georg Kreisler.

Hebrew and Yiddish words have no standard spelling.

I'm going to use YIVO and Hebrew Academy transliterations, no matter how strange they may look, because they are "official."

For Pesah, I will forgo hamets and say HaMotsi over matsa instead of halla. I look forward to eating frishe kneydlekh. Hag sameah!
