Sha-Sha, Sha-Sha!
Ya-Ya, Ya-Ya!

Sha-sha, here comes my thrill,
Oh Yasha please keep still!
Don't talk too much and kill
My chances with this guy.
Sha-Sha, now go and play,
This is your sister's day,
Don't give my age away
And make him say goodbye!

Oh Yasha, don't tell him I'm old,
He thinks pop has lots of gold!
Told him that mama's got
A chauffeur and a car!

Sha-Sha, now you'll get hung
If you don't hold your tongue
Till weding bells have rung!
Yasha! Sha-Sha-Sha!

My next door neighbour's daughter
Is really in hot water,
Because she has a brother who's a brat!
When someone comes to court her
And gives the kid a quarter,
He spills what he should keep under his hat!

She cries, and tries
To put him wise
To what it's all about,
And every night the neighbours hear her shout,
Oh hear her shout!

(Sha-Sha)
Oh boys keep still,
(Sha-sha)
Here comes my thrill,
Don't talk too much,
Won't you please be still!
(oh we will be still)

Oh Sha-Sha, Yasha,
Oh won't you let me call my bluff,
'Cause I told him that my mammy
Has a fold in her pianny
And a silver pot!
Oh Sha-Sha-Sha, oh Sha-Sha-Sha!
(scat)

(scat)
Oh Yasha, please be kind,
He's the last in line!
(scat)
What a glorious feeling!
Oh Yasha, help me make up his mind!
