billy crystal - buddy's first act lyrics

Loading...

[farber, spoken]
ladies and gentlemen, making his catsk!lls debut
please give a warm farber’s hotel welcome to buddy young, jr.!

[buddy]
i’m here to bring a little joy
look at me sing, now watch me dance
oh hey, you’re gonna like my shtick
you’ve eaten kugel ’til you’re sick
boy, i’d hate to be your pants

i’m young but every joke’s a pearl
got better legs than milton berle
been waiting for this chance since i was a boy
to bring you all a little
i promise you this yid’ll
bring you all a little—

[buddy, spoken]
all right folks, here’s what we’re gonna do
you know what jazz scat singing is, right?
all right, well, this is yiddish scat singing
at the right time, i want you to repeat after me

[buddy ad libs yiddish scat singing and the audience responds.]
[buddy, spoken]
all right, now what we’re gonna do—
i’m gonna cut you right in half—
it’ll be like an orthodox wedding
when i point to you with my right hand, you repeat after me
left hand, you repeat after me
here we go

[buddy, audience left & audience right]
say oy (oy)
say vey (vey)
say oy (oy)
say vey (vey)

[buddy & audience left, buddy & audience right]
oy vey, oy vey
oy vey, oy vey

[buddy]
i’m glad i brought a little joy
that rhymes with goy!

[buddy, spoken]
thank you!
this is why i love the catsk!lls!
