lyrics

You know folks I;m not a complainer
But the food in this hotel is pure pure poison
And the portions are so small

1.She’ll have a spit-pea soup
I’ll have a mushroom and barley
Maybe a glass of shav
What’s the waiter’s name?
Charlie
Egg salad sliced tomato
A couple of glasses of borscht
Of course
With a boiled potato
But you’ve already had your mains
No waiter
It’s not for now
It’s f’later!

2. (Oy I got such a craving)
Hey, y’know waiter how ‘bout a coupla blintzes?
Blueberry for him, cheese for the missus
A kugel, a knadel, a knish maybe med kasha
Anything with a k we’ll take
How ‘bout a side of kangaroo?
Oy a comedian
A bagel and lox
Put it in a box
Not for now
It’s f’later!

3.Get a load, gieb a kich
Look who’s at the next table already
Hey Harvey, Marilyn you’re having herring
Chopped, creamed, pickled we’re sharing
He’s on a diet, look he’s having it with matzoh
He thinks he’ll lose an ounce
He’s such a chaze
Harvey go tell the waiter to pack some of it up
Yeah, f’later!

4.Hey, everybody it’s dessert
Y’know a little piece of cheesecake, it wouldn’t hurt
We were gonna ask you
If you still have baked alaska
Shelley and Sarah, you know this place is famous
Yeah, I know for the prune danish
And the strudel with the pineapple
That makes sense
Then we don’t have to stop at the Red Apple
Not for now
It’s f’later

Oh Harvey
Yeah!
Are you havin’ the hazelnut torte
Hey, we ain’t schnorrers
But we’ll take the tagelach, rugelach and bapke
Oy bapke I got no more room
I told you not to eat all those latkes
Yeah but remember that’s OK
Cos it’s not for now
Not for now
Not for now?
It’s f’later!

4. Harvey, Marilyn f’later!
Shelly, Sarah hey f’later!
The pickles, the kichels
The kasha hey waiter
The blintzes, knishes the bapke
F’later!

Hey waiter,
We don’t mean for now
It’s f’later!

The Jews Brothers Band Auckland, New Zealand

Twenty years ago, inspired by a klezmer tune playing on an Auckland café’s stereo, Hershal Herscher picked up his accordion and started playing the music his grandfather Harry had brought to New York from the Ukraine.

The rhythm he was pumping out acted like a magnet on three musician friends who were in the caf that day. From that nucleus The Jews Brothers Band was born. ... more
