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
