I think it may be the fact that he has a regional accent which affects the “r” sound at the end. After reading this and listening to the recording, I can see how you could hear feygeles. Also, I’ve always hated the pacing on this recording. It always detracts from the cleverness of some of the lyrics including:

Pantaloons and tunics!
Courtesans and eunuchs!
Funerals and chases!
Baritones and basses!
Panderers!
Philanderers!
Cupidity!
Timidity!
Mistakes!
Fakes!
Rhymes!
Crimes!
Tumblers!
Grumblers!
Bumblers!
Fumblers!
