Who Stole the Keeshka?

Someone stole the keeshka1
Someone stole the keeshka
Someone stole the keeshka
From the butcher shop?
 
Who stole the keeshka?
Who stole the keeshka?
Who stole the keeshka?
Someone call the cops!
 
Hey! Hey! Hey!
 
Someone stole the keeshka
Someone stole the keeshka (Yeah, ha-ha-ha-ha!)
Someone stole the keeshka
From the butcher shop?
 
Who stole the keeshka?
Who stole the keeshka?
Who stole the keeshka?
Someone call the cops!
 
Round and firm and fully packed (Eh, ha-ha!)
It was hanging on the rack
Someone stole the keeshka
When I turned my back
 
Who stole the keeshka?
Who stole the keeshka?
Who stole the keeshka?
Someone call the cops!
 
Hey! Hey! Hey!
 
You can take my shinka2
Take my fine kielbasi3 (Uh, ha-ha!)
You can take my pierogi4
But please bring back my kishka
 
Who stole the keeshka?
Who stole the keeshka?
Who stole the keeshka?
Someone call the cops!
 
Jasiu found the keeshka
Jasiu found the keeshka
Jasiu found the keeshka
He hung it on the rack
 
He found the keeshka
He found the keeshka
He found the keeshka
Jasiu brought it back
 
Hey, hey, hey, hey...
  • 1. Keeshka or kishka (from the Polish word "kiszka") refers to various types of sausage or stuffed intestine with a filling made from a combination of meat and meal, often grain or potato. The dish is popular across Eastern Europe as well as with immigrant communities from those areas. (https://youtu.be/AWBzsmtgxVc , https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kishka_(food))
  • 2. Originally the Polish word "szynka", means "ham"; misspelled as "shinka". (https://youtu.be/AWBzsmtgxVc)
  • 3. From the Polish word "kiełbasa", is any type of meat sausage from Poland and a staple of Polish cuisine. In American English the word typically refers to a coarse, U-shaped smoked sausage of any kind of meat, which closely resembles the Wiejska sausage (typically pork only). (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kielbasa)
  • 4. Pierogi are filled dumplings made by wrapping unleavened dough around a savory or sweet filling and cooking in boiling water. They are often pan-fried before serving.
    Pierogi or their varieties are associated with the cuisines of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Dumplings most likely originated in Asia and came to Europe via trade in the Middle Ages. The widely-used English name "pierogi" was derived from Polish. In some parts of Eastern Europe they are known as "varenyky". Pierogi are also popular in modern-day American and Canadian cuisine, where they are sometimes known under different local names. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierogi)
