The Lyrics

Just smell those latkas sizzlin'
We'll be eating them soon
Come on let's light some candles
For it's Channukah, let's sing this tune
Others prepare for Christmas
But we won't miss this, it's true
Because eight days of candles
Are dandy for every Jew

Let us spin, let us nosh, let us play
Hooray, enlighten our days
We're singing of Hasmonean praise
Let us spin, let us nosh, let us play
It's grand, no matter which land
We live in because we're given
Eight days of joyous plans

We'll invite Sam and Rosie
Both young and oldie can come
We'll celebrate together
Eating Sufganiot and some Rum
Our house smells olive oily
(Invite the moil--he's a chum)
We'll spin the dreidel together;
With schnapps, it's even more fun

Come on and sing the chorus
We won't have tzuris, no way
Because the kids are playing
With the toys that we gave them today
We are a low percentile
The world is gentile--so what?
Say thanks to J. Maccabias
He kicked the Greeks in the butt

Let us spin, let us nosh, let us play
Hooray, enlighten our days
We're singing of Hasmonean praise
Let us spin, let us nosh, let us play
It's grand, no matter which land
We live in because we're given
Eight days of joyous plans

We shall sing "Rock of Ages"
In sixteen part "harmony"
So now let's all get together
A Channukah party with me!

Some definitions: Sufganiot: Jelly donuts, a popular Israeli Chanukah treat. J Maccabias: Judah Maccabee, hero of the Chanukah story. Tzuris: difficulty. Rock of Ages: A Jewish-themed parody of a Lithuanian Christmas hymn that has become one of the most popular Chanukah songs. Who knew? Parody by Mason "light humor" Resnick

Thanks LilMissHD, alvin (I never assume the words I take for granted in my world are familiar to non-Jews except for, maybe, Moil), Stan and 2Eagle!

My gosh, Mason, for being Jewish and all, I would expect you to know how to spell "Chanukah", which is also spelled "Hanukkah" to gentiles like me. Anyhow, you wrote a great parody, and these 5s are for you.

LOL Andria! Since "Channukah" is a transliteration, there are several correct ways to spell it. In Israel, street signs often have conflicting transliterations of Hebrew, especially for the town of Petach Tikva (Petak Tikkwa, Petuh Tiqqua, Pettach Ticveh, etc...) So I don't worry too much about weird transliteration spelling. I know a guy who insists on spelling it "Hannukeh"!
