[HANASHIR:7547] Hanukkah Parody

[Carole Rivel <crivel...>]

I came across this song parody (probably gotten from this list):

My Favorite Hanukkah Things, by Allan Leiberman, to "Raindrops on Rose"

Latkes and dreamless and dancing the Hora
Put all the candles into the Menorah
Open the presents, the family sings,
These are my favorite Hanukkah things.

Hanukkah candy and donuts with jelly
Eating too much gives an ache in the belly
Apple sauce goes on the latkes with ease
Others prefer sour cream if they please.

Say a blessing, light the candle,
With the dreidel play,
Remember the Maccabees, also the oil
That lasted them for eight days.

Hanukkah candles in bright fancy colors,
Using the shamash to light all the others,
Singing the blessing each Hanukkah eve,
Hanukkah gelt now you soon will receive.

Judah the solider and brave Mattathias
They told the enemy do not deny us,
Religious freedom and our liberty,
Fight to the death or we'll fight till we're free.

With their strength and faith and courage,
Victory appeared.
Celebrate Hanukkah eight days and then,
We'll do it again next year!

Also, you can find "Hanukkah in Santa Monica" on Doug Cotler's newest,  
Everyone's Invited! CD.
