>
> Latkes and dreidles 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!
