Chanukah Joyous Feast of Lights

Chanukah Chanukah joyous Feast of Lights
Chanukah, Chanukah lasts eight happy nights.
Chanukah, Chanukah celebrate with us 
the victories of the Maccabees against Antiochus,

Chanukah, Chanukah, tyrants were defied
Chanukah, Chanukah, the temple purified.
Chanukah, Chanukah the flame of liberty 
Burned eight days and its rays blazed for all to see.

Chanukah, Chanukah, happy time of year
Chanukah, Chanukah presents and good cheer.
Chanukah, Chanukah, come, join in the fun! 
Candles burn, dreydles turn, freedom has been won.
