Return to main lyrics page Hip Hop Hanukkah (lyrically PC version) (CHORUS) Hip Hop Hanukkah, all my Hebrews say Celebrate the festival, through the eighth day Let’s spin the dreidel, we’ll cheer when it tips Then we’ll light the menorah and drink Maneshewitz What’s the whole deal, with all these things Every single year that Hanukkah brings Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights you see In essence was a military victory The temple rebuilt and freedom was won A new holiday was needed when the work was done Deliberation ensued for a suitable name While purifying oil to continue the flame The answer came from long, deep meditation The name Hanukkah, it means dedication So, bust out a blessing with the fruit of the vine The miracle of Hanukkah, the lights that shine Hip Hop Hanukkah (CHORUS) One for my Hebrews, two for the torah It’s Hanukkah time so let’s light the menorah The Syrians defiled all the oil they had Not fit for worship and discarded as bad The current oil lasted for eight long days Celebration ensued and the Lord got praise Foods are cooked in oil at Hanukkah time Deep fried and crispy is the basic design Potato pancakes or latkes are eaten for sure Sufganiyot donuts and so much more Loukoumades, zelebis, the Maccabees ate. Just before battle at the enemy’s gate Hip Hop Hanukkah (CHORUS) H,E,B,R,E,W A new pride from the depths of the rubble grew Gelt coins minted and dreidel was played Like the Maccabees, how the pot was made At Hanukkah time kids put on plays For the holiday that lasts eight days Several new customs came from the west Decorations and gifts as you may have guessed From Modin to Jerusalem a torch is run To the Western Wall for the setting of the sun To light the menorah, a beautiful sign The miracle of Hanukkah is something devine Hip Hop Hanukkah (CHORUS) Don’t forget, never forget, the price we paid for freedom Return to main lyrics page
