Just smell those latkas sizzlin'
We'll be eating them soon
Come on let's light some candles
For it's Channukah, let's sing this tune
Others prepare for Christmas
But we won't miss this, it's true
Because eight days of candles
Are dandy for every Jew

Let us spin, let us nosh, let us play
Hooray, enlighten our days
We're singing of Hasmonean praise
Let us spin, let us nosh, let us play
It's grand, no matter which land
We live in because we're given
Eight days of joyous plans

We'll invite Sam and Rosie
Both young and oldie can come
We'll celebrate together
Eating Sufganiot and some Rum
Our house smells olive oily
(Invite the moil--he's a chum)
We'll spin the dreidel together;
With schnapps, it's even more fun

Come on and sing the chorus
We won't have tzuris, no way
Because the kids are playing
With the toys that we gave them today
We are a low percentile
The world is gentile--so what?
Say thanks to J. Maccabias
He kicked the Greeks in the butt

Let us spin, let us nosh, let us play
Hooray, enlighten our days
We're singing of Hasmonean praise
Let us spin, let us nosh, let us play
It's grand, no matter which land
We live in because we're given
Eight days of joyous plans

We shall sing "Rock of Ages"
In sixteen part "harmony"
So now let's all get together
A Channukah party with me!
