Update #1: "It's Chanukah!" Lyrics
Thank you so much to everyone who has backed this project so far! We're knocking on the door of the $2,500 mark, and I'm really excited and grateful!
A lot of people have asked about the lyrics to the song. So, without further ado, here are the lyrics!
It's Chanukah!Music and Lyrics by Jeffrey Paul Bobrick
I love the winter when they deck the halls
Seeing Santa as he laughs in the mall
Baby's crying as the mom strikes a pose
Take a picture but ignore the runny nose
Fa la la la la la la ho ho ho
Steal a kiss under the mistletoe
Have some food, take a long distance call
Oh holy night yeah I love it all
But what do you do
If you’re a Jew?
Oh oh it’s Chanukah!
8 Nights of Stamina
For your lady and man-ica
With you, with you
Oh oh it’s Chanukah!
Across the world and Canada
We didn’t die, we won, let’s eat!
With Jews, with you-ooh!
Some go around singing carols on the lawn
And all we have is that Adam Sandler song
Spin the dreidel, decorate Christmas trees
Sing of wise men or sing of Macabees
But what do you do
When you’re a Jew?
Oh oh it’s Chanukah!
8 Nights of Stamina
That’s a sexual double-entendre
For you, for you
Oh oh it’s Chanukah!
Found in the Apocrapha
We didn’t die, we won, let’s eat!
With Jews, with you-ooh!
Didja you know you can take any love song
And where it says “you,” substitute “Jews?”
It’s true!
(guitar solo!)
Oh oh it’s Chanukah!
8 Nights of Stamina
That’s a sexual double-entendre
With you, with you
Oh oh it’s Chanukah!
Across the world and Canada
We didn’t die, we won, let’s eat!
With Jews, with you-ooh!
