Yiddisha Eyes (8 Sep 1910)
Berlin Irving [chorus:] Oi, Oi, Oi, those Yiddisha eyes! Benny had those Yiddisha eyes That shone so bright, with an Israel light Eyes that could tell a diamond in the night Oi, Oi, Oi, those Yiddisha eyes! Benny had those Yiddisha eyes! He took a look in her bankbook With his Yiddisha eyes
[2nd verse:] Ben looked at her finger with his eyes Next day bought a ring the proper size Jenny's bus'ness father got wise! Now comes the finish part Benny, from his heart, began to shout, 'I love your daughter fine!' Jenny's pa cried, 'That's how I got mine!' Benny, bending, saw the ending With his Yiddisha eyes
[2nd chorus:] Oi, Oi, Oi, those Yiddisha eyes! Benny had those Yiddisha eyes That shone so bright, with an Israel light Eyes that could tell a diamond in the night Oi, Oi, Oi, those Yiddisha eyes! Benny had those Yiddisha eyes! He said, 'Farewell,' the teardrops fell From his Yiddisha eyes
