What a very nice ditty!
And even though Kalman was not a Czernowitzer,
This ditty is very much in the spirit of Czernowitz
In the 1920-ies and thirties.

For those who understand:

"Mine Liebchen lass mich schmusen an Deinem Busen,
da fängt sie an zu weinen, ich hab doch keinen
Und den ich gestern hatte, der war aus Watte
Und jeden Tag ein neuer, dass ist zu teuer."

Mimi

[ We don't do 'For those who understand' -- how about a translation
for those who are Germanically challenged?

Here's what Google says, but surely you could do better than this:

" Mine darling let me cuddle in thy bosom ,
as it begins to cry , but I did not
And I had yesterday , which was made &#8203;&#8203;of cotton wool
And every day a new , that is too expensive . "
