O’er the fields and roads, on a wagon full of hay,
With sun and wind and rain, two klezmers ride along
Hey, what a surprise! Say, who could they be?

Chorus:
Yid’l with his fiddle, Ari with his bass,
Life is just a song,
So why the angry face
Yid’l, fiddle, shmiddle, hey!
The world’s a happy place!

A goat stands in the meadow bleating sadly - meh!
Hey, you silly billy goat, to be so sad is - feh!
He grabs him by the beard and says: Well, same to you!

(chorus)

A bird soars overhead, Good morning to you all!
The sadness and the worries, to blazes with them all!
The wind is in your face, but Yid’l, laugh and travel on!

(chorus)
