RE: Gefilte Fish

[Ben Bazian <Bbazian...>]

I have never heard this song mentioned before.  My uncle came from Russia in
the late 70's and used to sing it to us all the time.  I would also be
interested in finding info on it.  Was real cute.  If I remember correctly I
believe it starts with "siz a meichel vos hot toizend tamin."

Is this the same one?

  Anybody knows the author and/or origin of a Yiddish song called Gefilte
Fish? My father used to love to sing it....At one point I even thought he
had written it! Until I heard it on a recent Russian/Yiddish recording, but
still couldn't figure out where it came from.
