It’s gone dark in this modern town
Christmas Eve so only jews around
No oil to be found
BP spilt it on the ground
No oil no need to be sad
No oil but I’m not sad
We have something our bubbis never had
E-lectric Menorah
E-lectric Menorah
It’s the only way to go
Look for light
in these trying times
Cold as hell
I’m losing my mind
Lost in the tundra
Waiting to be found
But Santa Claus
Ain’t coming to town
New light gonna brighten us up
Electric light gonna brighten us up
We have something our bubbis never had
E-lectric Menorah
E-lectric Menorah
It’s the only way to go
We have something out Bubbis never had

It’s getting colder baby
Headed home on holiday
I don’t even like this town
Let’s find a place to get down
Spin around like some dreidels
Dancing slow when were able
I just want a moment to our selves
Before we see anybody else
We’re going
Round and round
At the Hanukkah disco
We’re going
Round and round
At the Hanukkah disco
Sufganiyot in the morning
Sugar rush got us squirming
I wanna show you how
We used to get down
Drunk as hell, candles burning
Chocolate Gelt, stomachs churning
If my goys don’t know what’s up
Manischewitz in my cup
We’re going
Round and round
At the Hanukkah disco
We’re going
Round and round
At the Hanukkah disco

Oh my god
is she looking at me
oh my god
does she see what I see
Her eyes are on me
I feel like a zombie
I’m worried my Bubbi
Will start judging
I couldn’t fool a fly
I’m getting stares
from the rabbi
I’m worried she’ll see me
as I am
A Haze of Smoke
8 candles burning
I see the shamash
as it’s falling
High on Hanukkah
High on Hanukkah
Dreidel spin fast
Gimel Nun Shin Hey
High on Hanukkah
High on Hanukkah
Dreidel spin fast
Gimel Nun Shin Hey
My foggy head
tries to follow
What’s been said
There was a small army
led by Judah maccabee
The Greeks have taken over?
We have No clue what to do
But radical me
Brings Radical you
I shouldn’t have smoked
I’m not sure who is winning
would you please rewind
bring it back to the beginning
No war
no fight
No oil
No light
can we make it
last 8 nights
High on Hanukkah
High on Hanukkah
Dreidel spin fast
Gimel Nun Shin Hey
High on Hanukkah
High on Hanukkah
Dreidel spin fast
Gimel Nun Shin Hey

It’s the 4th night of Hanukkah
And the gifts are fading fast
Will I get that game boy
Or more socks and a baseball cap
These socks will all get holes
Before we even get home
It taught me that the good things in life
Will always fade to fast
All the other kids get Santa
But I got mom and dad
Something in the real world
Something built to last
--
No Mary, Jesus, or Joseph
No presents under the tree
Just Bubbi Complaining
about the price of groceries
Latkas and donuts
Too many deep fried foods
How am I passing out
Before the evening news
Trying to find some joy
During the festival of lights
All the candles blew out
But the world is burning bright
--
The 4th night ain’t that bad
It’s dramatic to call it sad
It’s Cosmically simple,
and a little mundane
It’s a Joseph Gordon-Levitt type day

Hey Girl
I’m not making it home yet
Just a couple more days
Keep them candles burning bright for me baby
I’ll be back
Candles bright
I’ll wait 8 nights
It never feels as good
Without you baby
Cozy up
In our sweaters
It never feels as good
As when we’re together
Call me up
You call me up
Said it doesn’t matter
I’ll stay right here
I’ll wait right here
‘Till the sun goes down
I don’t want this Hanukkah
Without Ya
I’m breathless
All dressed in blue
(So why am I counting on you)
I’m hopin’
That you’ll come my way
(So why am I counting on you)
I want the presents
The fantasy, the daydream
I’ll spin my promise
And wish that you were next to me
The miracle
Of you here to see me
(So why do I only want you)
I don’t want this Hanukkah
Without ya
I want the presents
The fantasy, the daydream
I’ll spin my promise
And wish that you were next to me
I don’t want this Hanukkah
Without ya
