[00:06.976]Miss Minnie Rosenstein
[00:10.039]Had such a voice so fine
[00:13.132]Just like Tetrazzini
[00:16.492]Any time that Minnie sang a song
[00:21.430]You'd think of real estate
[00:23.697]Seven blocks long
[00:28.367]Some song!
[00:32.304]Young Mister Abie Cohn used to call to her home
[00:38.601]Just to hear her singing
[00:41.648]Presents he was bringing full of bliss
[00:46.834]One night young Abie proposed to the Miss, like this
[00:59.190]Yiddisha nightingale, sing me a song
[01:05.132]Your voice has got such sweetness
[01:08.726]That it makes me strong
[01:12.020]Yiddisha nightingale, sing me a song
[01:17.993]I promise that I'll take you on a long honeymoon
[01:25.538]I'd give a dollar to hear you, my queen
[01:31.334]I wouldn't give a nickel to hear Tetrazzini
[01:38.617]Just to hear your cultivated voice good and strong
[01:45.100]I'd serve a year in jail
[01:48.398]Yiddisha nightingale
[01:52.758]Won't you sing me a song?
[02:04.602]Then said young Abie Cohn
[02:07.774]“I’m going to buy a home
[02:10.961]One that’s made of marble
[02:14.246]Dear, where you can warble harmony
[02:19.445]And I don’t care for expenses you see
[02:26.180]That’s me!
[02:30.053]I’ll go and learn to play on the piano, say
[02:36.055]You’ll sing while I’m playing
[02:39.117]People will be saying as they pass
[02:44.257]And they look in through the windowpane glass
[02:51.602]Some class!”
[02:56.538]Yiddisha nightingale, sing me a song
[03:02.788]Your voice has got such sweetness
[03:05.933]That it makes me strong
[03:09.759]Yiddisha nightingale, sing me a song
[03:15.992]I promise that I'll take you on a long honeymoon
[03:23.789]I'd give a dollar to hear you, my queen
[03:29.742]I wouldn't give a nickel to hear Tetrazzini
[03:36.742]Just to hear your cultivated voice good and strong
[03:43.242]I'd serve a year in jail
[03:46.492]Yiddisha nightingale
[03:51.275]Won't you sing me a song?
[03:59.180](A popular song from 1911, words and music by Irving Berlin)
