Realized in Yiddish by Khane Faygl Turtletaub
Knock Three Times (Original English)
Hey girl whatcha doin down there
Dancing alone every night while I live right above you
I can hear your music playin
I can feel your body swayin
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
[Chorus]
Oh my darlin’
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
[Chorus]
If you look out your window tonite
Pulling the string with the note that's attached to my heart
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adored you
And only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart!
by Irwin Levine and the lyricist L. Russell "Larry" Brown.
