I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. -Brad

See below (from a random web site somewhere, via google).

Now that the song has been brought up, perhaps someone can tell me: what does the last verse have to do with either the rest of the song, or Chanukah?  (No offense intended)

=========
I am so mixed up that I cannot tell you, 
I'm sitting in this blender turning brown 
I've made friends with the onions and the flour 
And the cook is scouting oil in town
. 
I sit here wondering what will come of me 
I can't be eaten looking as I do 
I need someone to take me out and cook me, 
Or I'll really end up in a royal stew. 

Chorus:	I am a latke, I am a latke, 
And I am waiting, for Chanukah to come (2x) 

Every holiday has foods so special, 
I'd like to have that same attention too. 
I do not want to spend life in this blender, 
Wondering what I am supposed to do. 

Matzah and Charoset are for Pesach, 
Chopped liver and Challah, Shabbat. 
Blintzes on Shavuot are delicious, 
And gefilte fish no holiday's without (Chorus) 


It's important that I have an understanding 
Of what it is that I'm supposed to do. 
You see there are many who are homeless 
With no jobs, no clothes and very little food 

It's so important that we all remember 
That while we have most of the things we need 
We must remember those who have so little, 
We must help them, we must be the ones to feed (chorus)
