translation:
i’m a skilful thief
and i’m having my seder in stir
i’m the most skilful in the gang
my luck is the worst
when are you coming to get me out?
i’m working, o best of my goodfellas
trust me, your female gangleader’s doing all she can
once i’ve got the money [lit., coins]
to grease the guards
then i’ll be coming to get you out
i stayed up all night on shavuos[1]
watching for your arrival
all i saw was the mouse
whose house is my cell
when are you coming to get me out?
i’m working on it, my goodfella
you giselle is breaking her back/ass
i need one more basket of money
to slip to the prosecutor/judge
then i’ll be coming to get you out
it’s already yom kippur, giselle
the day of prayer and self-mortification
i believed you, but
i’m still in the joint
when are you coming to get me out?
my shlimazl of a convict
i’m doing all that i can, but the times are behind me
but when the people’s revolution
conquers the people’s persecution
then i’ll be coming to get you out
chanukah in prison is dark
it’s already winter and i have no shoes
i sit in my long johns
dreaming of latkes
when are you coming to get me out?
when am i coming? i’m already there
they caught me and i’m doing time like you
let the wheel turn
let the head become the tail:
when are you coming to get me out?
