Hello? Yes?
Hello, Sophie.
This is Patti Page.
Well, bless your heart.
A very happy jubilee to you.
Thank you, dear.
Thank you.
And say, young lady,
I'm glad you called.
I want you to know
that I'm a Patti Page fan
club all by myself,
and baby,
that's a pretty good -sized club.
Well, I've been a fan of yours, Sophie,
for a long, long time,
ever since I first heard you sing
Yiddishe Mama.
Did you like it? Like it?
I went right out and bought a copy and
learned it.
But Patty dear,
you haven't got a Yid
dish shemama.
Well, what's the difference?
Any mother is everybody's mother,
isn't that right? It certainly is.
And I'd love to hear you sing
Yiddish shemama.
Won't you do a chorus
for me, please?
Well, it won't be like you sing it,
but you ask for it.
My Yiddish mama,
I need her more than ever now.
My Yiddish mama,
I'd love to kiss that wrinkled brow
I long to hold her hands once more
as in days gone by
And ask her to forgive me
for things I did that made her cry
How few were her pleasures
She never cared for fashion styles
Her jewels and treasures,
she found them in her baby's smiles.
Oh, I know that I owe what I am today
To that dear little lady, so old and gray
To that wonderful Yiddisher
Mama
Mama
Oh, Patti, that was just grand.
I never sang it any better myself.
Well, I can't believe that,
but it's sweet of you to say so.
Well, a happy jubilee again,
and I'll say bye now.
Goodbye, Patti, dear,
and thank you for calling.
Oh, gee, I forgot to ask her
if she ever bought that doggie in the window.
