Tekst Utworu

[Verse 1]
Shall I sing you a song about somethin'
Somethin' about which I don't know much
Because I'm a third
A numeral not a word
Singing of Hanukkah might seem faux
[Verse 2]
Yeah Irving Berlin wrote, 'White Christmas'
'God Bless America' too
Irv had some nerve
He could take a swerve
Pretty good for a short Russian Jew
[Verse 3]
And it all seems to be about oil
Making eight nights a week from just one
Like the fishes and loaves
So on Tuesday let Shrove know that there's not much new under the sun
[Verse 4]
Hey I know Hanukkah is the fun one
(Oh, Hanukkah, Hanukkah, oh)
You got your dreidels, your latkes and your song
(Oh, Hanukkah, Hanukkah, oh)
Unlike Yom Kippur when you zip up your zipper
In atonement for all you've done wrong
Yeah
Atone a while
Zip that thing, boy
(Oh)
(Fresh hot latkes yum yum yum)
[Verse 5]
In my lobby they light the menorah
But folks still got to move their parked cars
Surely God intended
(Oh)
Restriction suspended
Last man-made rules are from Mars
Christmas morning kids open their presents
Loot piled up under a lit tree
But Jewish kids can't peek
For their Eight nights a week
That seems less fraught and more fun to me
[Verse 6]
Hey shall I sing you a song about somethin'
(Hanukkah, Hanukkah there ain't no other one)
Somethin' about which I don't know
(Hanukkah, Hanukkah, holiday fun)
(Oh)
Because I'm a third
A numeral not a word
Singing of Hanukkah might seem faux
Hanukkah just might be a no-go
Hanukkah Hanukkah ho-ho-ho
Written by: Loudon Wainwright III
