From the Chosid Reb Tuvia Belkin. Sung by Zvi E. Spalter on Nichoach Volume 2, released in 1961.
עסן - עסט זיך, טרינקען - טרינקט זיך, וואס זאל מען טאן אז עס דאוונט זיך ניט"
"עסן - עסט זיך, שלאפן - שלאפט זיך, וואס זאל מען טאן אז עס לערנט זיך ניט."
Rough Translation:
Eating comes naturally; drinking and sleeping come naturally, but praying and studying Torah seems to take much effort.

Is this meant to be FUNNY? I've never seen such bad taste in putting together a holy niggun with this guy gorging himself with food.
I'm actually disgusted.
I agree with the first comment
The niggun was made and sung by people who didn't eat or sleep properly, but were still upset about the fact that eating came more naturally to them than learning or davening, so i definitely agree with number !
I appreciate the comedy of this piece. I guess it's "lashon hora" to say "ya'lla re too brainwashed to take a joke", but I think it's not very nice to not recognize the humor this man put into making this video, that made me smile when it came up. Lighten up frummy bummys.
