[HANASHIR:12404] Re: 8 days of Chanukah

[Freedabet <Freedabet...>]

Very cute.  But, to make the song work really well, the first one has to 
start with 'one' and preferably should rhyme with 'me.'  In that vein, and 
since it's a parody, may I humbly suggest

"One huge latke, not fat free..."
how about "# Cantors dreying" to go next to Rabbis praying
Of course, on the 8th night you have 9 candles burning (11 if it's Shabbat)

For a hilarious parody, see the choral work "The Twelve Days AFTER 
Christmas"...
