Lyrics for 'Chanukah, O Chanukah'

Hanukkah, Oh, Hanukkah
Let's light the menorah
Let's have a party
We'll all dance the hora.
Gather 'round the table, we'll give you a treat
A dreidel 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.

Hanukkah, Oh, Hanukkah
Let's light the menorah
Let's have a party
We'll all dance the hora.
Gather 'round the table, we'll give you a treat
A dreidel 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.
