WERE LIGHTING THE MENORAH

We're Lighting The Menorah - Reishit Yerushalayim 

yeh its chankuah night and the draidle's spinnin on the floooor
i got a latka in my hand and its made of pa-tay-toe (potato)

we just finished rosh hashanah
had enough of apples and honey
now we're eatin chocolate gelt and sufganiyot with jelly

those yevanim thought they could wipe us ouuuuttt
we're lighting the menorah
God was on our side which they didn't know about.
we're lighting the menorah
Jews is what we are and we all unite.
we're lighting the menorah
publicize the neis with our candlelight
we're lighting the menorah

i'm jewish jewish baby 
i'm awfully crazaay 
i got my mommy tatty bubby and i i got my zaidy
but now in the past
the greeks didn't want us to last
so they said that we have to give up judaism fast 
but the maccabees
said no we want to be jewish
we won't succumb to your strict demands that's what you wish
so judah a nd the maccabees fought to get back the torah

we're lighting the menorah
so the six fought
but the greeks thought it'll be an onslaught
this is why we say




le hadlik ner shel chanukah
but they still won
so the party begun 
this is what we say
sheasa nisim and the other bracha
but the oil ran out
so they freaked out
this is why we prayed
we're lighting the menorah
and yet it lasted all eight days
so we celebrate
this is why we say
we're lighting the menorah

lighten up the night candles burning bright 
make a bracha sing a song 
then i get so many presents
we don't need a tree
we got our rebbe
and we wana be
like the maccabees
who beat anti
ochus, and after we light 
we sing haneiros halalu and who's the big reciter,
andrew, the jew, a true, menorah lighter

i'm true to the game too, it's called spinning dreidels and i can't lose
i never roll a nun or a hay or a shin
i always win
so then they are gue
yeh i get the gimmels yid
it makes the sem girls get the giggles yid
i'm walking away with the gelt 
o yes i did

we're lighting the menorah
those yevanim thought they could wipe us ouuuuttt
we're lighting the menorah
God was on our side which they didn't know about.
we're lighting the menorah
Jews is what we are and we all unite.
we're lighting the menorah
publicize the neis with our candlelight
we're lighting the menorah
