Out in front of Goldstein’s ...
Out in front of Goldstein’s, over by the Loop,
Near Benito’s fruitstand we formed a smelly group.
Rachel led the dancing with Salvador Vendetto
While Solly worked the jew’s-harp on the sidewalks of the ghetto!
East Side! West Side! All around the town!
Everything is kosher, Naples bridges falling down!
Jews and wops together, me and Ysbel Levetto,
We danced a Yid gavotsche on the sidewalks of the ghetto.

East Side! West Side! Me and Nellie O’Hell!
We danced some devil dances on the walks of Israel!
East Side! West Side! Me and Marilyn Damn,
We danced the light bombastic on the walks of Adjiram!

East Side! West Side! With Harriet Beecher Stowe,
We danced a negro juba on the walks of Jericho.

East Side! West Side! Me and Stevie Stork,
We danced a Yid gavotshe with Rachel Stein, in Cork.
