A           E         D          
Put on your yarmulke, here comes 
E
Hanukkah
A            E             D    
It's so much fun-akkah, to 
     E
celebrate Hanukkah,

A        E      D           E
Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights,
A                     E          
Instead of one day of presents, 
             D     E
we have eight crazy nights.

A                           E    
When you feel like the only kid 
           D               E
in town without a Christmas tree,
A                E           
Here's a list of people who are 
           D                 E
Jewish, just like you and me:

A         E    D              E
David Lee Roth lights the menorah,
A           E                    
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, 
       D          E
and the late Dinah Shore-ah

A                E          
Guess who eats together at the 
   D        E
Carnegie Deli,
A           E              D    
Bowzer from Sha-na-na, and 
        E
Arthur Fonzerrelli.

(pause for giggle)

A                  E       D    
Paul Newman's half Jewish; 
              E
Goldie Hawn's half too,
A          E                D   
Put them together... what a fine
         E      Esus2   E
 lookin' Jew!

D
You don't need "Deck the Halls" or 
"Jingle Bell Rock"
E                                 
Cause you can spin the dreidl with
 Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock--both 
       Esus2
Jewish!


A           E              D

    E

A    E          D     E
O.J. Simpson... not a Jew!
    A         E

converted!)

A          E               D    
We got Ann Landers and her 
        E

A                 E              
Harrison Ford's a quarter 
   D       E
Jewish... not too shabby!

A           E          D         
Some people think that Ebeneezer 
E
Scrooge is,
           A        E             
Well, he's not, but guess who is: 
D         E       Esus2  E
All three stooges.

So many Jews are in show biz...
E                                 
Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his 
         Esus2
agent is.

Tell your friend Veronica, it's 
D                  E
time you celebrate Hanukkah
  A               E               
I hope I get a harmonica, on this 
D              E
lovely, lovely Hanukkah.

   A                  E           
So drink your gin-and-tonic-ah, 
  D              E
and smoke your marajuanic-ah,
       A              E        
If you really, really wanna-kah, 
         D             E
have a happy, happy, happy, happy
A
Hanukkah.
