YENTE
(spoken)
Well, Anatevka hasn't exactly been the garden of Eden
(spoken)
That's true
(spoken)
After all, what have we got here?
(sung)
A little bit of this
A little bit of that
MORDCHA
MENDEL
A broom
(Spoken)
Somebody should have taken a match to this place long ago
A bench?
A tree?
So, what's a stove?
Or a house?
MENDEL
People who pass through Anatevka don't even know they've been here
A stick of wood.
A piece of cloth.
ALL CAST
What do we leave? Nothing much
Only Anatevka
Anatevka, Anatevka
Underfed, overworked Anatevka
Where else could Sabbath be so sweet?
Anatevka, Anatevka
Intimate, obstinate Anatevka
Where I know everyone I meet
Soon I'll be a stranger in a strange new place
Searching for an old familiar face
From Anatevka
I belong in Anatevka
Tumble-down, work-a-day Anatevka
Dear little village, little town of mine
(spoken)
Eh! It's just a place
MENDEL
(spoken)
Our forefathers have been forced out
of many many places at a moments notice.
(spoken)
Maybe that's why we always wear our hats.
