  It's from the show "Caberet" and you can find it in the songbook for the show.

    Dear List Members,I have an acquaintance, Denise, whose mother told her 
about a song 
    she remembered loving as a girl called "Miskeit," 
    (she pronounced it to me as Miss-kite), and Denise would like 
    to be able to find it for her, if possible. Maybe someone on the 
    list could help out. We don't know if it is Yiddish, or Polish 
    or Russian.  "Miskeit" means unlucky or unfortunate (or worse, 
    mean things) in Yiddish, doesn't it?Todah rabah,Linda Sharff
