@ifixcoinops When I took Yiddish the professor taught us this song to learn the names of the days of the week. In Yiddish, the Slavic "bulbe" (בולבע) is more common in some dialects (although "kartofl" [קאַרטאָפֿל] is also a word).

Zuntik, bulbes,
Montik, bulbes,
Dinstik un mitvokh, bulbes,
Donershtik un fraytik, bulbes,
Shabes in a novene—a bulbe-kugele!
Zuntik, vayter bulbes!

Sunday, potatoes,
Monday, potatoes,
Tuesday and Wednesday, potatoes,
Thursday and Friday, potatoes,
Shabes, for a change—a potato kugel!
Sunday, potatoes again!

this 1908 #Yiddish song by Hersh Nomberg, Folkspartei activist, writer, and Peretz protégé, still gives goosebumps more than a century later. Sung here by folklorist Ruth Rubin in 1956. "S'loyfn, S'yogn Shvartse Volkn - Dark Clouds Race and Rush."
