HANUKAH NIGHT’S ALL RIGHT FOR LIGHTING

                                       / by Shlock Rock

Well,   The Syrian Greeks said                         יונים סורים  

‘You can’t do no bris’                                      ברית מילה

To observe was not permitted here,      לשמור מצוות,     מותר

When the second Temple was defiled a lot,      בית מקדש ,  חולל=חיללו אותה

Become a Pagan or your death was near,            עובד ע'ז,     מוות

Well now I’ll talk about an army named the Macabees

Whose mission was now very clear,                    משימה,  ברור

They resisted as Jews,                                  התנגדו כ-

And didn’t take abuse                                                                       השפלה                 

Outnumbered but they had no fear!                   במיעוט

                    chorus

          Oh now every future generation               דור

          Celebrates throughout the land,              חוגג,      בכל ה-

          Cause Hanukah night’s all right for lighting,   מתאים,  ל'מדליקים'

          Eight nights is the lighting din.                דין

          When they found the oil, there was no supply,       אספקה

          But you know it lasted for eight nights                   הספיק

          Cause Hanukah night’s  the festival of  lights,

          Hanukah night’s all right, all right to light, oooooh!

 

 

The Menorah’s on the window and when it’s right,

Light ‘em from the left and set ‘em up from the right,    סדר אותם

You can’t use the candle light in case you want to read,   במקרה ש---

It can be lit by every member of your family!                  ניתן להדלקה

 

Light Hanukah candles before Sabbath night,

But they have to last thirty minutes into the night

When the Sabbath ends you know Menorah's lit last ,     נדלקה אחרון

Give me Havdalah first and then the lighting task!     משימת ה -

                    chorus

 

sing: Hannukah, Hannukah Hannukah night’s all right!
