[00:00:00] Written by：Fred Ebb/John Kander

[00:00:00] Now the only word you have to know to understand this

[00:00:04] Little song is the yiddish word meeskite

[00:00:08] Meeskite means ugly funny looking

[00:00:13] Meeskite means

[00:00:15] Meeskite meeskite

[00:00:16] Once upon a time there was a

[00:00:18] Meeskite meeskite

[00:00:19] Looking in the mirror

[00:00:20] He would say

[00:00:21] What an awful shock

[00:00:24] I've got a face

[00:00:24] That could stop a clock

[00:00:27] Meeskite meeskite

[00:00:29] Such a pity on him

[00:00:30] He is a

[00:00:30] Meeskite meeskite

[00:00:32] God up in his heaven left him out on a shaky limb

[00:00:36] He put a meeskite on him

[00:00:39] Listen he grew up even meeskites grow up

[00:00:44] And soon in the heder means hebrew school

[00:00:47] He sat beside this little girl

[00:00:50] And when he asked her her name

[00:00:52] She replied I'm pearl

[00:00:57] He ran to the zeiddah that's grandfather

[00:01:00] And said in the scratchy voice of his

[00:01:03] You told me I was the homeliest

[00:01:07] Well gramps you're wrong pearl is

[00:01:10] Meeskite meeskite

[00:01:13] Meeskite meeskite

[00:01:15] Ev'rywhere a flaw

[00:01:16] And maybe that is the reason why

[00:01:19] I'm going to love her until I die

[00:01:23] Meeskite meeskite

[00:01:25] Oh it is a pleasure she's a

[00:01:26] Meeskite meeskite

[00:01:28] She's the one I'll treasure

[00:01:29] For I thought there could never be

[00:01:32] A bigger meeskite than me

[00:01:38] And so they were married

[00:01:40] And in a year she turned and smiled

[00:01:44] I'm afraid I am going to have a child

[00:01:51] Nine months she carried

[00:01:54] Worrying how's that child would look

[00:01:58] And all the cousins well worried too

[00:02:00] But what a turn fate took

[00:02:05] Gorgeous gorgeous

[00:02:08] They produced a baby that was

[00:02:10] Gorgeous gorgeous

[00:02:12] Crowding 'round the cradle

[00:02:14] All relatives awed and wooed

[00:02:18] He ought to pose for a baby food

[00:02:22] Gorgeous gorgeous

[00:02:25] Would I tell a lie

[00:02:26] He's simply

[00:02:27] Gorgeous gorgeous

[00:02:29] Who'd have ever thought

[00:02:30] That we will see such a flawless gem

[00:02:34] Out of two meeskites like them

[00:02:38] Wait wait this story has a moral all my stories have morals

[00:02:44] Moral moral

[00:02:47] Yes indeed the story has a

[00:02:48] Moral moral

[00:02:51] Thou you not a beauty

[00:02:52] It is nevertheless quite true

[00:02:57] There may be beautiful things in you

[00:03:03] Meeskite meeskite

[00:03:05] Listen to a fable of the

[00:03:07] Meeskite meeskite

[00:03:09] Anyone responsible for loveliness large or small

[00:03:21] Is not a meeskite at all
