Anyone know the song that has, I think sort of a chorus, ein tzvei drei fir? It popped into my head & I need to get the rest of the song!
Thanks!

I think it's "Gevalt shoin yidden vas shluft ir" or something like that. I recently received a beautiful WhatsApp video clip but don't know how I can post it.

I also only remember the chorus - you really took me back!
I am not at all sure, but I seem to recall it being sung by Shlomo Carlebach, and there were also a few lines - an almost spoken part (questions?) strummed with guitar.
But I don't recall the words to the song.

The song predates Carlbach. The words are something like

gevald’ shoin breeder vust shluft dir, eintz tzvey drei fier,
gevald’ shoin breeder vust shluft dir, eintz tzvey drei fier,
s’iz shoin tzeit tzu zuggen tehillim eintz…
s’iz shoin tzait tzu geyn davnn eintz tzvey drei fier
s’iz shoin tzeit tzu gein lernn eintz…
s’iz shoin tzeit tzu zein yidden eintz…
herr zich ain yiddelach, herr zich ein, mein zees yiddelach, mein zees yiddelach, mein tayer yiddelach, herr zich ayn mit asach hartz, mit asach neshoma
oib nisht kain davnn, nisht kain lernn, nisht kain tehillim, nur geshluffen, oy vus toigst du oif der velt, uhn mit vus vest du kummen oif yenne velt
