Warsaw is Khelm – GOLEM

David went to Warsaw To see the city lights He walked from his little town of Khelm

He gazed up at the buildings That soared above his head Like the birds at home when he laid beneath the elms

Helm is Warsaw Warsaw is Khelm Helm is Warsaw Zay Gezunt

Warsaw is Khelm Helm is Warsaw Warsaw is Khelm — Gezunt

The food he ate in Warsaw Was a delicious as can be Kugel, kreplach, and —- Vodka flowing free

He said, while feasting, drinking Like the king of all the realm Just as good as mama cooks back home in Khelm

Helm is Warsaw Warsaw is Khelm Helm is Warsaw Zay Gezunt

Warsaw is Khelm Helm is Warsaw Warsaw is Khelm — Gezunt

Then David met a Warsaw girl A city lady fine With minks and pearls and lips as red As cherries dipped in wine

They danced a — as gently as she —- She said you’re like my first love Far away in Khelm

Helm is Warsaw Warsaw is Khelm Helm is Warsaw Zay Gezunt

Warsaw is Khelm Helm is Warsaw Warsaw is Khelm — Gezunt

David told her stories Of his youth across the sea The towns and cities far and wide In faded memory

He said I’ve lived all over And I wonder, when I die If I will go to Warsaw Or to Khelm
