Smithsky's Bagel Factory Blues

Smithsky's Bagel Factory Blues - Ronney Abramson

I used to work in a bagel factory

Frederick E. Smithsky and Sons

I worked as a clerk and as a baking assistant

Separating the bread from the rolls

Well I guess you could say

I was in cgarge of the pay

Manager of circulatory dough

The hours were long

But ringing with song

The sound of seedy symphony

And I'm a regular circular
Bagel baby
The kind that you'd want
Around

Well sometimes when it rained at the bagel factory
of Frederick E. Smithsky and Sons
We'd get a bit of bread and buy ourselves a flagon
And fill the place with jovial soul
And when the boss was there
Well he didn't really care
He was an all 'round regular joe
Shaped like a bagel
His name was Irving
He preached hole-in-one philosophy

And I'm a regular circular
Bagel baby
The kind that you'd want
Around

Now that I've left the bagel factory
of Frederick E. Smithsky and Sons
For better or for better
I miss the job I had the better
One of my more pleasant roles
Well now it's time to sheed a tear
For that most wonderful year
And Smithsky's long awaited goald
To become the greatest
Let's salute the bagelest
Smithsky's bagel factory
The most famous hole in history

And I'm a regular circular
Bagel baby
The kind that you'd want
The kind that you'd want
Yes the kind that you'd want
Around
