C’est la vie,
mon cher ami..
and don’t you
ever dare
say it ain’t so.

Or should I
rather say
cher-ish ami?
If that, indeed,
must be
our kind of love…

I wouldn’t know.
They say the root
of all our evil
must be greed.

But what is evil
does depend
upon your
chosen God.

That’s why
I only ever claim
to be Jew-ish.
