Shiker song

I attended the Royal Wines Kosher Food and Wine Experience Wed. night at the Puck Building. Great wines from all over the world! I was joking around, calling myself the shiker shiksa. A song/rhyme came into my head that I first heard on a Sholem Aleichem recording. I call it "Shiker iz a goy." Ober ikh muz zogn az di yidn, di vus zaynen geven af the wine tasting, zi kenen oykh a zakh trinkn!

These lyrics came from zemerl.com:

"Geyt a goy in shenkl arayn"

Geyt a goy in shenkl arayn,
in shenkl arayn, in shenkl arayn,
trinkt er dort a gut glezl vayn,
a gut glezl vayn, a gut glezl vayn.
Oy, shiker iz a goy, shiker iz a goy,
shiker iz er, trinken muz er,*
vayl er iz a goy.

Geyt a yid in bes-medresh arayn,
in bes-medresh arayn, in bes-medresh arayn,
khapt er dort a kedushele arayn,
a kedushele arayn, a kedushele arayn.
Oy, nikhter iz a yid, nikhter iz a yid,
nikhter iz er, davnen muz er,
vayl er iz a yid.

Geyt a goy fun shenkl aroys,
fun shenkl aroys, fun shenkl aroys,
brekht er dort a por shaybelekh oys,
a por shaybelekh oys, a por shaybelekh oys.
Oy, shiker iz a goy, shiker iz a goy,
shiker iz er, brekhen muz er,
vayl er iz a goy.

Geyt a yid fun bes-medresh aroys,
fun bes-medresh aroys, fun bes-medresh aroys,
kusht er dort a por mezuzelekh oys,
a por mezuzelekh oys, a por mezuzelekh oys.
Oy, nikhter iz a yid, nikhter iz a yid,
nikhter iz er, kushn muz er,
vayl er iz a yid.

*probably sung (in Polish or Ukrainian Yiddish) "miz er," which
gives an internal rhyme

Here is Royal Wine's webisite, if you want to see what types of wines they bring in. They are an importer/distributor in Bayonne, NJ! http://www.royalwines.... My favorites were from New Zealand.
