about

Written by Nellie Casman in 1923 or so

lyrics

First verse translation:
I've written lots of songs, tunes and lyrics both
I've sung for Jews and gentiles
The world has my songs on records and in print
I certainly didn't deserve thanks like this!
It happened while I was unbelievably busy
That's when the Angel of Death heard it straight from me:
I'm too busy, I'm also too busy to die
When death comes around, I tell him: Don't bother me!
