When I was a child, on my mother's knee
Many were the songs that she would sing to me
Oh those songs told a tale of a childhood at play
We'd sing through the night of those long ago days.

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, etc.

My mother grew up with a lyrical style
Seldom the time when her eyes didn't smile
As she gave me a bath or she put me to bed
She'd sing me a song and here's what it said.

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, etc.

My mother is Jewish, and Irish my maw
The two finest people that you ever saw
And though they are so different we're sure of one thing
When it comes to music the same song they sing.

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, etc.
