A Few Words About the Chinese New Year |
Now this next song was a big hit comedy song |
Before I was born and I took this song and modernized it, I hope |
The hero of the song was originally Jewish and I made him Chinese |
Which is no small achievement, actually |
Uh and the reason I did that was that a couple months ago |
In January, I was appearing in San Francisco |
And it happened to be during the Chinese New Year |
And I learned that to the Chinese people, this is the year 4664 |
And of course to the Jewish people, this is the year 5726 |
Which means that for 1062 years |
Jewish people have had to do their own laundry |
Now this is a very tender, poignant song, actually |
It’s beautiful if you want to know |
I figure I better tell you it’s beautiful before I start singing it |
Because once I start you’ll have no way of knowing that it’s beautiful |
This is a song about a man who walks into a tailor |
And tells him a very sad story and it goes like this |
