He stayed
I was born in the streets
We boosted our draft
This is the world I think
We lived in a slum
Brooklyn was better
He kidnapped me
Getting to Know You
The orphanage wasn’t a picnic
In the 40s New York was wide open
I felt like a Goddess in it
My children are Orthodox
It gives me a high
I went out to shine shoes
I was once this age
We liberated one of The Camps
My father was an illegal immigrant
After 50 we all shrink
I’ve got a house full of harmonicas
You learn every day
Tall dark and handsome
In 1939 the war started
You’ll soon be your father’s
Thank God we had a bathroom!
You wanna know about me?
