Babenyu (A.K.A. Krenitz)- 8th Day- Composed by Shmuli & Bentzy Marcus- Brooklyn

VERSE 1:
Every morning from the kitchen where she’s cooking
My Bubbe, she tell you you’re good lookin’,
The kids, they’ll play you potchie hentelach
The Bubbe, she’ll make you fish and kneidlach.

But the baker and the butcher, they’re so lonely
My Bubbe, the kettle’s whistle for me,
My shtetl Krenitz is calling your name
My shtetl is calling.

CHORUS 1:
But there ain’t no highway back to Krenitz
There ain’t no train inside this ride,
I close my eyes and say
Hello L.A.
Welcome to the shtetl of mine.

Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu
Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu
Ay, ay, ay, my shtetl’s calling,
Shpiel shoin klezmurim’lach
Davai shoin kneidlach
Der Bubbe zoil zein gezunt un freilach.

VERSE 2:
Everyone’s your friend in this cobblestone land
Everybody seems to know your Bubbe,
They’ll share their wine and their knishes with you
And then they’ll send regards to Shloime.

But the baker and the butcher, they’re so lonely
My Bubbe, the kettle’s whistle for me,
My shtetl Krenitz is calling your name
My shtetl is calling.

CHORUS 2:
But there ain’t no highway back to Krenitz
There ain’t no train inside this ride,
I close my eyes and say
Hello L.A.
Welcome to the shtetl of mine.

Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu
Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu
Ay, ay, ay, my shtetl’s calling,
Shpiel shoin klezmurim’lach
Davai shoin kneidlach
Der Bubbe zoil zein gezunt un freilach.

But there ain’t no highway back to Krenitz
And there ain’t no train inside this ride,
I close my eyes and say
Hello L.A.
Oh, welcome to the shtetl of mine.

Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu
Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu
Ay, ay, ay, my shtetl’s calling,
