lyrics

Sheyne Punim is mayn meydl
Makes my head spin like a dreydl
She’s my kugl, I’m her kneydl
Such a Sheyne Punim.

Sheyne Punim, kenayn horeh
Studied at the talmud toreh
Knows her Sodom from Gemoreh
That’s my Sheyne Punim.

Sheyne Punim once had tsoris
On a date with my friend Morris
Since then he has shlogged kaporis
Over Sheyne Punim.

Sheyne Punim, she’s a katchke
But with her you shouldn’t patchke
Your poor heart is just a tchatchke
To my Sheyne Punim.

Sheyne Punim, ovtzolokhes
Every day I’m shepping nakhes
Every night I count my brokhes
For my Sheyne Punim.

Sheyne Punim, Sheyne Punim
Blessing from my makhatunim
We’ll have kinder—great rabunim—
All with sheyne punim.
