Czar Nicolai

I'm trying to locate the lyrics to the song above, a ribald tune about 
Nicolai's wife that was introduced, I am told, in a Yiddish musical during the 
early 1900s.  It's in Yinglish and sung to a traditional Russian melody.  The 
first line is:

"Czar Nicolai, hey vot a guy.  Ze mit vemen er hut chaseneh gehat."
