Posts tagged "Childhood"

I was born on the table

I was born in the streets

Everything in the street

It’s your choice

It was like a different world

We lived in a slum

You made pennies

Being poor was pretty awful

Brooklyn was better

I was held back

He kidnapped me

My mother married, she was 13

I have two sons

Dad was right

The orphanage wasn’t a picnic

I want to look good and feel good

We were against all these bourgeios institutions

Everybody wore hats in those days

It gives me a high

I was always the secretarial type

I was very mischievous

I wanted to be a ball player

I went out to shine shoes

Demitasse of the morning

I was once this age

We were married 46 years

I like the “D”

I felt suffocated

They haven’t heard of Ocean Hill

Light Breaks

It was actually Crown Heights

We don’t hire Jews

Jobs were scarce

I’ve been there

If we got a nickel

I was born in Brooklyn

A lot of love in the house

Words

We were evacuated

In 1939 the war started
