MY SHTETL’S CALLING (Babenyu Remix)- 8th Day- Composed By Shmuli & Bentzy Marcus- Stronger Closer

Every morning from the kitchen where she’s cooking
My bubby tells you you’re good looking
The kids they’ll play you pah’chee hentelach
The bubbeh she’ll make you frisheh k’neidelach.
But the baker he’s so lonely
My bubby’s kettle whistles for me
My shtetl Crown Heights is calling your name
I hear my shtetl, it’s calling.

But there ain’t no highway back to Krenitz
And there ain’t no train inside this rhyme
I close my eyes and say, it’s just a click away
Welcome to the shtetl of mine.

CHORUS:
Bubbeh bubbeh babenyu
Bubbeh bubbeh babenyu
My shtetl’s calling.
Shpiel shoin klezmoirimlach
Davaye shoin k’neidelach
Di bubbeh zol zein gezhunt un freilach.

Everyone’s your friend in this cobblestone land
Everybody seems to know your bubbeh
They’ll share their wine and their knishes with you
And then they’ll send regards to Shloimeh.
But that butcher he’s so lonely
My bubby’s kettle whistles for me
My shtetl Crown Heights is calling your name
I hear my shtetl, it’s calling.

But there ain’t no highway back to Krenitz
And there ain’t no train inside this rhyme
I close my eyes and say, it’s just a click away
Welcome to the shtetl of mine.

CHORUS:
Bubbeh bubbeh babenyu
Bubbeh bubbeh babenyu
My shtetl’s calling.
Shpiel shoin klezmoirimlach
Davaye shoin k’neidelach
Di bubbeh zol zein gezhunt un freilach.

Ach Kakaye Babenyu
Bubbe, Bubbe Babenyu
Ay, ay, ay, my shtetl’s calling.
Shpiel shoin klezmoirimlach
Davaye shoin k’neidelach
Di bubbeh zol zein gezhunt un freilach.
