    Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
    Come light the menorah
    Let's have a party
    We'll all dance the hora
    Gather 'round the table
    We'll give you a treat
    Sivivon to play with and latkes to eat

         And while we are playing
         The candles are burning low
         One for each night, they shed a sweet light
         to remind us of days long ago
         One for each night, they shed a sweet light
         to remind us of days long ago.

    Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
    A time to remember.
    A joyful, jolly holiday
    that comes in December
    Every day for eight days, dreidels will spin
    Crispy little latkes, tasty and thin.

         And nightly, so brightly,
         the candles of Chanukah glow.
         One for each night, they shed a sweet light,
         to remind us of days long ago.
         One for each night, they shed a sweet light,
         to remind us of days long ago.
