lyrics

Oh, Chanuka’s come round again
Put the latkes on to fry
It’s time to watch the dreydls spin
Put the latkes on to fry

We’ll light the candles one by one
We’ll sing some songs and have some fun

We light the candles every night
Come have a latke, take a bite!

We light the candles, one, two, three
And sing about the Maccabees

We light the candles, six, seven, eight
See the stack of latkes on the plate

And when the candles are aglow
We’ll sing the songs of long ago

Sing “Maotzur yeshuati”
There’s gifts for you and gelt for me

With applesauce and sour cream
Eat latkes till we burst a seam

Now’s the time for gifts and gelt
If the sun don’t shine, then the snow won’t melt

My bobe’s menorah sits on the shelf
If you want any more you can sing it yourself
