lyrics

W pociągu jest tłok,
Przytulnie o zmrok
Zaczyna się więc sielanka
W ramionach kto splótł
A jajka kto gniótł
Pod ławką jest coś - rąbanka

Podała mu ust.
On podniósł jej biust
A pod nim dwa balerony,
Rąbanka i schab,
Spod serca kap-kap,
A pociąg mknie jak szalony.

Refrain:

O, Zosiu ma,
Warszawa jest już blisko
Więc każdy to przyzna,
W Warszawie drożyzna,
Dla ciebie ja wiozę wszystko

Ciocia Adela i córka jej Fela
Zawsze się w drodze kłócą
Napięte są nerwy, i myślą bez przerwy,
Że dzisiaj do domu wrócą.

O Zosiu ma, zapraszam Cię na kolacje
Będzie wódzia i wino i wszystko co chcesz,
A reszta to już jak wiesz

One of my favourite musical discoveries in a while. These musicians are seriously talented. I can’t help imagining that there would have been a whole significant subculture of Yiddish psych rock like this in a different, kinder universe. For now, this is a window into that world that might have been. And I love every second of it. Audrey
