Lyrics:
They come from Minsk, Pinsk
Prague and Hague
Cologne and Bologne
Babylon, Teheran, Aswan
'Bout every place that's known
They come from Hong Kong, Tokyo
Baghdad, Buffalo
Chances are if you're a Jew
They're from your city too
Chorus:
From the four corners
My people gave birth
From the four corners
From the ends of the earth
From every country city province state or town
The Jewish people can found
They come from Berlin, Michigan
Vienna and Sienna
Baghdad, Leningrad
And good old Timbuktu
They come from Warsaw, Arkansas
Worcester, Kiev, Montreal
Chances are if you're a Jew
They're from your city too
Some Jews speak
Yiddish, Finnish, Spanish, Polish
German, English, Swedish, Danish
Tagalog (if you are Filipino)
Arabic, Persian, Russian
In the holy land the mama lashon
And there are those that even speak Ladino
Chorus
Some Jews eat
Hot dogs, hamburgers
Sushi and Sashimi
Couscous, yaprach
Flanken, kreplach
There's a dish that's new
Some Jews wear
Blue Jeans, kimonos
Serapes and lederhosen
Chances are if you're a Jew
It's nothing new to you
Final Chorus:
From the four corners
My people gave birth
From the four corners
From the ends of the earth
From every country, city, province, state or town
The Jewish people can be
Just like you and just like me
The Jewish people can be found
