lyrics

Get in the car
Cos we're gonna leave the city
We're driving to the Catskills
Through the Palisades so pretty
We're goin' to the mountains
To a big resort hotel
W'e're booked into the Raleigh
Where they know us very well

chorus
UP IN THE BORSCHT BELT
CAN WE GET THERE FASTER PLEASE
( CH.2 can we stay here longer please/ CH.3 can we stay up later please/CH 4 can we all come back here please)
IT'S THE CAT'S PYJAMAS
IT'S THE REAL BEES KNEES
UP IN THE BORSCHT BELT
WITH THE OTHER FAMILIES
ON VACATION IN THE COUNTRY
IN THE LAZY SUMMER BREEZE

Oh, the dining room
Is our favourite venue
And we'd really like to live there
And try everything on the menu
Al Shiner is our waiter
And he's fast with every course
And if you don't feel like the chicken soup
You can always order borscht

In the evening
We can wander to and fro
We can listen to the house-band
Stay on and watch the show
We can catch a new comedian
Who might become a star
Sip a Pink Flamingo
Or dance the cha-cha-cha

It's the last day
And we'll soon be back in the city
Take a deep breath of the fresh air
Cos we're goin' where it's gritty
It's sad that we are leavin'
But our cup is really full
So it's one last time on the tennis court
One more dip in the swimming-pool

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
