The Lyrics

This is 1 of 10 responses to a challenge by Johnny D (abetted by Guy and Steve K.) to do 10 parodies of "Sugar, Sugar." I followed most of their suggestions and came up with a few of my own. I've already been to the Archies well 6 times, so no more after today. If anyone wants to take it from here, here are some suggestions: "Luthor, Luthor" (Superman's nemesis); "Wookie, Wookie" (Star Wars); "Dubya, Dubya/Kerry Kerry"; "Shoo, Guard, Shoo Guard" (NBA); "Schmuckers, Schmuckers" (jam); "Suckers, Suckers" (those who voted for Bush); well, I could go on, but I won't. Archies la vista! [See vocabulary notes below.]
'Shugge

CHORUS:
'Shugge,
Oy, shmucky, shmucky.
You're not a landsman, goy,
And so I am taunting you.
Shmucky,
Oy, 'shugge, 'shugge
You're not a landsman, got
And so I am taunting you.

I just can't believe the putziness of smutzy you.
(Putziness of smutzy you)
Can't believe your bupkesness and nebbishness too!
(And your nebbishness too)

CHORUS

When you kibitz, goy,
Your Yiddish doesn't sound too sweet.
(Your Yiddish doesn't sound too sweet.)
Kinda like a smuckwhine—
Makes me pour sweet wine down me.
(Makes me pour sweet wine down me.)

Pour a little 'schewitz down me, shmucky. ('shugge)
Don't be a meshugge baby (shmucky, shmucky)
Just love that wine so sweet. (oy, oy, oy!)


['Shugge, short for meshugge (Yiddish, crazy, absurd, nuts); shmuck (a jerk); landsman (a fellow countryman); goy (a gentile); putz (fool, jerk); smutz (dirt); nebbish (a "sad sack"); bubkes (something trivial); 'schewitz (short for Manischewitz, a sweet kosher wine)]

Thanks, Alvin. It took almost as long to post them as to write them. Arwen, thanks.
