Pink Tie Lyrics

Hey! Do you ever wonder

What it would be like if

Life was just a dream?

And all the suited people

Waiting with delays for

Trains in Palmers Green

Were phantoms with no lives of their own

Just there for you and me.

The truth is we’re alone.

And we two, with Providence our guide

Will ride this lonely ride

Come out the other side.

From all the city-women

Dressed in silk and linen

Chose the King his wife

You, opening the wardrobe,

Chose from all the neckties

Fettering my life.

The pink tie will be my morning prayer

And when the day is done

Return me back to where

You draw me. Signs around my neck you bind

Throughout my working maze

To carefully unwind.

Ay, Lyu, forn vestu handlen,

az raykh zolst mir vern mayn tayere kind!

Ay, lyu, shlof zhe mayn libinke!

Ay, lyu, shlof zhe mayn libinke!

One man got the World to thinking

Abstinence from drinking

Earns the World to come.

There deeds become repaid and

Fifty sultry maidens

Tend to every one.

But I say heaven’s with us every day

The reward is in the deed

But you have to find the way

To see it. Wipe the falsehood from your eyes

And soon you’ll understand

The truth behind it lies.

Ay, Lyu, forn vestu handlen,

az raykh zolst mir vern mayn tayere kind!

Ay, lyu, shlof zhe mayn libinke!

Ay, lyu, shlof zhe mayn libinke!

Ay, lyu, lekhol yisroel

Yesh lohem khlelek leoylem habo
