How do you spell Chanukah With a c or an h tacked on the front With one or two k’s in the middle Either way’s ok It’s not about how we spell it It’s about how we celebrate It’s not about how we spell it It’s about how we celebrate Celebrate Chanukah By lighting the menorah Can you believe that Chanukah’s Not even written in the torah So, how do you say Chanukah With a ‘ch’ or a ‘huh’ at the front Nuh or new in the middle Any way’s ok It’s not about how we spell it It’s about how we celebrate It’s not about how we spell it It’s about how we celebrate We celebrate Chanukah By lighting the menorah Can you believe that Hanukkah’s Not even written in the torah Chet nun vav kaf hay In Hebrew it’s the only way Eight nights and eight days To celebrate Cause it’s not about how we spell it It’s about how we celebrate It’s not about how we spell it It’s about how we celebrate We celebrate Chanukah By lighting the menorah Can you believe that Hannukah’s Not even written in the torah So grab a light for your menorah Go grab a light for your menorah Go grab a light for your menorah

We light two candles On the first night For Eretz Yisrael I pick blue and white On the second night I add red too USA Tonight’s for you For eight nights in a row We stand together Watching the flames glow and dance Light as a feather These little lights Shine oh so bright We sing songs While they burn all night They remind us of the miracle, miracle Oil lasting for eight days, eight days We’re reminded of the miracle, miracle While wax drips from the fla-a-a-a-ame ay-ay-ay-ay-ay On night three I start a rainbow That’ll grow and grow And grow All the way to The 8th night Neirot brighten up My home For eight nights in a row We stand together Watching the flames glow and dance Light as a feather These little lights Shine oh so bright We sing songs While they burn all night They remind us of the miracle, miracle Oil lasting for eight days, eight days We’re reminded of the miracle, miracle While wax drips from the fla-a-a-a-ame ay-ay-ay-ay-ay We light From left to right Unlike in Hebrew How we read and write We light From left to right, Unlike in Hebrew How we read and write Yeah it feels so right They remind us of the miracle, miracle Oil lasting for eight days, eight days We’re reminded of the miracle, miracle While wax drips from the fla-a-a-a-ame ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

Have a seat On the floor Grab a dreidel Now it’s war Whoever spins The best collects Chocolate gelt And family respect Oh dreidel, dreidel Spinning round and round I can twirl you right side up And upside down Gimme a gimel My little dreidel Spin spin spin spin Spin then stop Gimme a gimel My little dreidel Spin spin spin spin Spin and drop Gimel gets me The whole pot Nun is nothing Nada, squat Hey gets me The bigger half But shin makes me Give two back Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel Spinning round and round I can twirl you right side up And twirl you upside down Gimme a gimel My little dreidel Spin spin spin spin Spin spin spin then stop Gimme a gimel My little dreidel Spin spin spin spin Spin spin spin then stop How could one little dreidel Give me such a tummy ache Next time I’m gonna share The chocolate gelt that I make How could four Hebrew letters Keep us busy for so long We play until our my head spins It goes on and on and on Gimme a gimel My little dreidel Spin spin spin spin Spin spin spin then stop
