As with
My Son, The Folk Singer, almost all the songs on the album contain some Jewish reference, or at least a main character or characters with apparently Jewish names. • "Al 'n' Yetta" - References to TV shows of the day • Cohan medley: • "Barry is the Baby's Name" • "Horowitz" • "Get On The Garden Freeway" • "The Bronx Bird Watcher" - A talking / singing bird with a Jewish accent. • "Harvey and Sheila" - Filled with alphabetical references: IBM, PTA, GOP, USA, etc. • "When I Was a Lad" - Recast as the story of a young man who succeeds at an advertising agency:
So I thank old Yale / And I thank the Lord / And I also thank my father / Who is chairman of the board. • "Shticks of One and Half a Dozen of the Other" is a stylistic followup to "Shticks and Stones", another medley of short parodies, some Jewish-oriented, some not. For example: • New words to "
Molly Malone", describing her as "Cockeyed and muscle-bound". • ''On top of Old Smokey / All covered with hair / Of course I'm referring / To Smokey the Bear'' (
On Top of Old Smoky) • ''When you go to the delicatessen store / Don't buy the liverwurst'' (
