    "Klappy klappy hentalach
    Mommy koifen sheechalach
    Totty koifen shtrimpalach
    Far ______'s (insert name of child) feesalach!"


    I'm not sure you'll understand my Yinglish (Yiddish-English) so here's a rough translation:


    (Ok, the first line is just, clap your hands, that part you know)
    Mommy will buy shoes
    Totty will buy socks
    For _____'s feet...


    Typing it out, it seems so silly, but hey, it helps us grow up mature and intelligent! (Take me, for example)..


    I like this version patchy patchy hentelech
    Mommy koifen shichelach
    Totty koifen zukelech
    & _childs name_ huben roita bekelach

    English translation:

    Clap Clap hands
    mommy will buy shoes
    Totty will buy socks
    And ______ will have red checks <!--

    Report Post</font>


    -->

    I would like to thank the author of this response. Don't know if I'm doing this right on the 'puter. I'm writing my memoirs, and my Yiddish went out down the tubes about 60 years ago. 00-)) Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.
