Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah

(Neal Katz)

OH CHANUKAH, OH CHANUKAH
Music and lyrics from folk tradition, English lyrics by F. Minkoff

Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah come light the menorah.
Let’s have a party, we’ll all dance the horah.
Gather round the table, we’ll give you a treat.
S’vivon 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.

Oy Chanukah, Oy Chanukah
A yomtov a sheiner,
A lustiger a frelecher,
Nito noch azoiner.
Alle nacht in dredlech, sh'piln mir,
Zudik hese latkes, est on a shir.
Geshvinder, tsindt kinder,
Dee Chanukah lichtelech ohn.
Zingt "Al Hanisim,"
loibt Gott far di nisim,
Un kumt giher tantsn in kohn
