I was born on the table
You’re an owner of the Yankees!
I was born in the streets
It’s your choice
You made pennies
Being poor was pretty awful
I was held back
I have two sons
My father was my role model
Dad was right
The orphanage wasn’t a picnic
They said she had a Jewish accent
My children are Orthodox
I was always the secretarial type
I went out to shine shoes
Demitasse of the morning
How come you’re not married?
Barbara Streisand graduated from High School with me
I like the “D”
I felt suffocated
Light Breaks
My father was an illegal immigrant
Jobs were scarce
That’s the guy I’m gonna marry
They spoke Yiddish or English
I’ve been there
That was the beginning
I was born in Brooklyn
When you raise a kid you’re too crazy
A lot of love in the house
Words
In 1939 the war started
I had a wonderful mother in law
Life, you do what you have to do
They were quality
I had a lot of friends on the block
Thank God we had a bathroom!
