Yellow Bus

Was forwarded this picture. Reminded me of a video, posted below.



In the town where I was born /
Lived a man named Earl Gray /
He was smoky, sharp and bold /
And he had a lot to say.
We all drink from a Yellow Submarine!
A Yellow Submarine!
A Yellow Submarine!
We all drink from a Yellow Submarine!



Here's the video:


Translation of some great lyrics.

The economy is in der erd (adamah!) /
it's going tough /
it's bashert.
empty shelves, empty pockets /
looks washed out.

Born rich, market crashed /
Dreams lost, a homeless (man) laughs /
Head full of noises, comes an end /
Bills and debts, a month of rent.

Chorus: I wanna go on my yellow bus, my yellow bus, my yellow bus (cheder bus) /

I sit down to learn, leave me alone /
Forget about everything, off my head /
In goyishe streets there are no jobs /
at least in shul I have lekach and shnapps.

I can enjoy just like a young 'un /
Make trouble with the kids /
Halevai I could go back /
 to cheder with 'em

Chorus: I wanna go on my yellow bus, my yellow bus, my yellow bus (cheder bus) /

ALL KIDS, OFF THE BUS!

Stores of toys, and candy shops /
IN the sand, with lollipops /
You can have fun, but watch-it /
if youre too wild, you'll chap potches!

Chorus: I wanna go on my yellow bus, my yellow bus, my yellow bus (cheder bus) /


I'm just waiting for someone to pounce on the "you'll chap potches!" part.
