The "I'm not working on Shabbos" song

Saw a reference to anshei kartoffel in a recent thread. And decided to Google it. This was the first thing that came up.

I recently named a character Solly and that always makes me think of the "here comes the trolly" song

Also from “where’s Zaidy”:

“Gloppa Kosher frozena stiffa dinner” (flight attendant -who I suspect was also the lilmod ulelamed secretary).

No pizza, no ice cream? Oh how the Yidden suffered.

He was the most talented person I’ve heard. No cd today can compare to his work.

Mrs. Pitkin: I'm not home!

I wish my kids would love When Zaidy Was Young as much as my siblings and I did when we were growing up. Alas, the screen is much more enticing. I think I'm the only one who perks up when it plays on the Naki Radio.

"But I just got you a dwink, uh, I mean a drink, ten minutes ago!"
"But I got tussty again!"

"Zaidy, did you have your own room?"
"Sure I had my own room. Except I had to share it with my six brothers and two sisters!"

"If you eat my challos for ein hundred yar (100 years) you will live very long that is for sure"

I was so proud of myself as a kid when I figured out the joke in that line.

His tapes timeless.
When we go on trips my kids love it and the jokes are still funny.

My grandfather used to say that he grew up in a house with 20 rooms. Cue for us to ask, and how many rooms did your family have?

I am waiting patiently for my kids to grow up just a little to enjoy the story tapes. I can't wait to listen to them again. .

Why wait?? I am unashamed to say that we took the tapes from my parents’ house before we even had children and listened as newlyweds! 😆 I was so proud to put them on when my little neighbors came to visit...! Most of the jokes are over those little ones’ heads!

I think that is from Yanky’s Shabbos tape. Not Shmuel Kunda but another wonderful classic. I actually downloaded it for myself more recently. “I used to think my mother was the shabbos queen...” is on that one. Love that song!
