The Chanukah Song |
There are so many beautiful Christmas songs around and so few Hanukah songs |
So I thought we’d try this one for you |
Put on your yamakah, |
Here comes Hanukah, |
So much funikah to celebrate Hanukah here |
Hanukah is, |
The festival of lights, |
Instead of one day of presents we have eight crazy nights! |
When you feel like the only kid in town, |
Without a Christmas tree, |
Here’s a list of people who are Jewish, |
Just like you and me! |
David Lee Roth, |
Lights the Menorah, |
So do James Cann, Kirk Douglas and the late Dinah Shora, |
Guess who eats together at the Carnegi Deli, |
Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzarelli! |
Paul Newman is half Jewish, |
Goldie Hawn is too, |
Put them both together what a FINE looking Jew! |
You don’t have to Deck the Halls with Jingle Bell Rock, |
'Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captian Kirk and Mr. Spock! |
(Both Jewish!) |
Put on your yamakah, |
Here comes Hannukah, |
Some much funikah to |
Celebrate Hanukah! |
OJ Simpson, |
Not a Jew! |
But guess who is?, |
Hall o' Famer Rod Carew! |
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby, |
Harrison Ford’s a quarter Jewish! |
Not too shabby! |
Some people think that |
Ebenezer Scrooge is, |
Well he’s not but guess who is? |
All three Stooges! |
So many Jews are on my list |
Tom Cruise isn’t, |
But Jesus Christ is! |
Put on your yamakah, |
Here comes Hannukah, |
So much funikah to |
Celebrate Hanukah here! |
Hanukah is, |
The festival of lights, |
Instead of one day of presents we have eight crazy nights! |
So tell your friend Veronica, |
It’s time to celebrate Hanukah! |
And don’t forget harmonica, |
On this lovely, lovely Hanukah! |
So drink your gin and tonicah, |
Don’t smoke your marijuanikah! |
If you really, really wannukah, |
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy, |
HANUKAH! |
Oh yes |
Happy Hanukah You’all |
