Bei mir bist du schön
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön
Again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "bella, bella"
Even say "wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Bei mir bist du schön
There I said it again
So kiss me and say you understand

Bei mir bist du schön
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön
Again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "bella, bella"
Even say "wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Bei mir bist du schön
There I said it again
So kiss me and say you understand

Bei mir bist du schön
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön
Again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "bella, bella"
Even say "wunderbar"

Bei mir bist du schön
There I said it again

I heard this as a child and until this day I thought it was: My Dear Mister Shane.

Would love to hear Ella's version too. I've danced to it, and let me tell you it gets your heart rate up towards the end! One of my all-time faves.

Trouble with the Flying Neutrinos is you never notice when they come to town.
 
They seem to fly right through and are gone again in a flash.

The original is in Yiddish though, isn't it?  I think they are rather trying to approximate that sort of pronunciation.
 
Yiddish it is.  My mother sang this to me when I was a youngin lo some 60+ years ago.  Things were different then, at least to me.

Like this version by The Hot Sardines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4-XIKt-ADs,  They sped it up quite a bit.

Geez, Goldsmiths: 12 years is a long time to keep a song in the freezer! Can you get this into semi/regular rotation?

delicious swing jazz with a Lady Day impersonator on the mic? yeah, it's a sweet formula, then or now.
