Aka the Chanukkah Song or the Chanukah song
Intro: There’s a lot of Christmas songs out there, but not too many about Hanukkah, so I wrote a song for all those nice little Jewish kids who don’t get to hear any Hanukkah songs. Here we go…
Put on your yarmulke, it’s time for Hanukkah
Its so much fun-akkah to celebrate Hanukkah,
Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights,
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.
But when you’re 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 Caan, Kirk Douglas and the late Dinah Shore-ah
Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli,
Bowzer from Sha-na-na and Arthur Fonzerrelli.
Paul Newman’s half Jewish; Goldie Hawn’s half too,
Put them together — what a fine lookin’ Jew! [Esus]
You don’t need Deck the Halls or Jingle Bell Rock
Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock — both Jewish! [Esus]
Put on your yarmulke, its time for Hanukkah,
The owner of the Seattle Super sonic-ah celebrates Hanukkah.
O.J. Simpson — not a Jew!
But guess who is— Hall of Famer Rod Carew (he converted!)
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby,
Harrison Ford’s a quarter Jewish — not too shabby!
Some people think that Ebeneezer Scrooge is,
Well, he’s not, but guess who is: All three stooges. [Esus]
So many Jews are in show biz
Tom Cruise isn’t, but I heard his agent is. [Esus]
Tell your friend Veronica, its time to celebrate Hanukkah
I hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, lovely Hanukkah.
So drink your gin-and-tonic-ah and smoke your mara-juanic-ah,
If you really, really wanna-kah, Have a happy, happy, happy, happy
Hanukkah… HAPPY HANUKKAH!
Put on your Yarmulka

We get eight crazy nights
When you feel like the only kid in town
Without a Christmas tree
Here’s a new list of people who are Jewish
Just like you and me

Drinks Manischewitz wine
Then spins a dreidel with Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein
Guess who gives and receives
Loads of Hanukkah toys

So many Jews are in the show biz
Bruce Springsteen isn’t Jewish
But my mother thinks he is.
Tell the world-amanaka

Get drunk in Tijuanaka
If you really really wannaka
Have a happy happy happy happy Hanukkah!
Put on your yarmulke
It’s time for Hanukkah
Once again it’s onaka
The miracle of Hanukkah
Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights
One day of presents?
Hell, no, we get Eight Crazy Nights
But if you fell like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
I guess my first two songs didn’t do it for you
So here comes number three
Ross and Phoebe from friends say the Hanukkah blessing

Happy Hanukkah!
