The Chanukah Song
There are so many beautiful Christmas songs around and
So few Chanukah songs
So I thought we'd try this one for you
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funikkah
To celebrate Chanukah, yeah
Chanukah 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 Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-a
Guess who eats together at the Carnegie 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 yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funikkah
To celebrate Chanukah
OJ Simpson
Not a Jew
But guess who is?
Hall of 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 yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funikkah
To celebrate Chanukah, yeah
Chanukah 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 Chanukah
And don't forget a harmonica
On this lovely, lovely Chanukah!
Just drink your gin and tonicah
Don't smoke your marijuanikkah!
If you really, really wannukkah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy, Chanukah
Oh yes
Happy Chanukah ya'll
So few Chanukah songs
So I thought we'd try this one for you
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funikkah
To celebrate Chanukah, yeah
Chanukah is
