Re: "ot azoy" - Bob Cohen and Di Naye Kapelye

[Pete Rushefsky <klezbanjo...>]

 One of the great mysteries of the klezmer revival is thus solved.  Now Yankl, 
for the bonus round, what are the lyrics to Louie Louie?

Here's how Bob Cohen sings this couplet:

Ot azoy, ot azoy, tantst mit ale shviger -
Ot azoy, ot azoy, makht a khosn kinder!

not ot azoy/git azoi... there's another song called "ot azoy." it's on the
purple CD/book comp where the CD looks like a big jewish star with the
writing written around that shape. it's mostly instrumental. i played it
with some people at klezkamp who played it in "A." anyway, it goes 'long in
A and then there's a section in dminor where you sing...

"ot azoi, ot azoi, something something some-thing,
ot azoi, ot azoi, something something kin-der!"

i can't even find my copy of the cd... does anybody know what these words
are here?

thanks!
