The songs are given in topical sections; Love; Children; <span class=\"emph\">Lechaym</span> [To Life]; It's Hard to Be a Jew; <span class=\"emph\">Amerike, Amerike!</span> [America]; and, The Holocaust. The poetics/lyrics are given in transliteration under the melody lines, and there are guitar chord markings. Along with guitar chord indications, verses follow upon the music in transliterated Yiddish and in singable English translations.
