The Lyrics

At Christmas time, when carols ring
If you're left out, here's what you sing

When there's holiday lights, but you don't believe in Christ,
That's a menorah
When your religion is older than Moses' candleholder
That's a menorah
It's yuletide, dai-del-dai-del-dai, dai-del-dai-del-dai
But for you, no Santa Claus
Baruch ata, fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la
You know fruitcake fails kosher laws

When your best friend's a moyl and you've run low on oil,
For your menorah
When you're buying some toys, but not for any goys,
At the mall
When you have a good book, but just five chapters you took,
that's the Torah
What we say, is "Oy Vey', in our Yiddishe way
That's a menorah

When you do shopping later, "cause you're having a Seder
With menorah
There's no manger and cradle and you play with a dreidel
And menorah
Hanukkah, fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la
Though it falls close to Chris-a-mas
Deck the halls with some Matzo balls, lotsa Matzo balls
Shlep your tokhes off to a bris

When your friends they all kibbitz "on egg nog Maneshevitz
That's ferkakte
When the star on your tree has six points don't you see
You're a Jew
When your stocking is hung, but you'd much rather run
To Miami Beach's shore-ah
Skip the flight and burn bright all the candlelight
On that menorah, (menorah)
That's a menorah
(Oy vey)

Pacing was rather off, but aside from that I thought it was very cute.
