A Few Words About The Chinese New Year

歌曲歌詞

Now this next song

Was a big hit comedy song before I was born

And I took this song and modernized it

I hope

The hero of the song was originally Jewish

And I made him Chinese

Which is no small achievement

Actually

Uh and the reason I did that

Was that a couple months ago

In January I was appearing in San Francisco

And it happened to be during the Chinese New Year

And I learned that to the Chinese people

This is the year 4664

And of course to the Jewish people

This is the year 5726

Which means that for 1062 years

Jewish people have had to do their own laundry

Now this is a very tender

Poignant song actually

It’s beautiful if you want to know

I figure I better tell you it’s beautiful

Before I start singing it

Because once I start

You’ll have no way of knowing that it’s beautiful

This is a song about a man who walks into a tailor

And tells him a very sad story

And it goes like this
