Return to main lyrics page 8 Nights of Hanukkah On the first night of Hanukkah I danced the horah Because I was given a brand new menorah On the second night of Hanukah sitting at the table I received this brand new dreidel I spun the dreidel and then danced the horah Pulled out some candles and lit my menorah On the third night of Hanukkah as good as I felt I received a bag of Hanukkah gelt I used the gelt to play dreidel and then danced the horah Pulled out some candles and lit my menorah On the fourth night of Hanukkah feeling devine I received a bottle of Maneschewitz Grape Wine I took a swig of that wine, as good as I felt And pulled out all the rest of my Hanukkah gelt I used the gelt to play dreidel and then danced the horah Pulled out some candles and lit my menorah (Chorus) The 8 nights of Hanukkah, people behold Is a story of survival that needs to be told Enemies tried to kill us and bring us defeat But we fought back and won, so come on let’s eat On the fifth night of Hanukkah I got my wish I got potato latkes, my favorite dish I took a swig of that wine, as good as I felt And pulled out all the rest of my Hanukkah gelt I used the gelt to play dreidel and then danced the horah Pulled out some candles and lit my menorah On the sixth night of Hanukkah, a taliss for me I held it up and showed it, so that all could see I put my taliss on, thanked the Lord for my wish And ate potato latkes, my favorite dish I took a swig of that wine, as good as I felt And pulled out all the rest of my Hanukkah gelt I used the gelt to play dreidel and then danced the horah Pulled out some candles and lit my menorah On the seventh night of Hanukkah a yamulke came To match the new taliss, the pattern the same I put my taliss on, thanked the Lord for my wish And ate potato latkes, my favorite dish I took a swig of that wine, as good as I felt And pulled out all the rest of my Hanukkah gelt I used the gelt to play dreidel and then danced the horah Pulled out some candles and lit my menorah On the eight night of Hanukkah, the best by far Was a trip to Jerusalem by plane and car I put my yamulke on, the matching taliss too And thought that I must be one lucky Jew I gave thanks to the lord for granting my wish And ate potato latkes, my favorite dish I took a swig of that wine, as good as I felt And pulled out all the rest of my Hanukkah gelt I used the gelt to play dreidel and then danced the horah Pulled out some candles and lit my menorah (Chorus) 2x Return to main lyrics page
