Pass the Latkes


Latkes, latkes munch’em down
Cooked in oil, golden brown
My wife’s latkes are the best in town
I could eat those latkes all year round
Apple sauce and sugar at one extreme
Taste so good if you know what I mean
Maccabee was the winning team
Let’s eat potato latkes and sour cream

(CHORUS) 2X
Pass the latkes, pass the latkes, pass the latk, latk, latk, latk, latkes

Potatos, carrots, and onions too
Shred’em all together just like a stew
Matzo meal and eggs make up the glue
Now to cook them up, here’s what you do
Just drop’em in oil that’s really hot
Don’t use a little, ‘cause you need a lot
Fry them up crispy and oil blot
Fresh potato latkes really hit the spot

(CHORUS) 2X

Oil was used to light the flame
Of the temple menorah and such a shame
Syrians were the only ones to blame
We praised Adonai when the Macabees came
We already know about the Lord’s great ways
And hope the enternal flame always stays
The oil that lasted for 8 long days
Is the reason we sing these songs of praise

(CHORUS) 2X

I like latkes, that’s for sure
When I clear my plate I want some more
One, two, three, or even four
Latkes, latkes, lat-kes galore
A fun mess to make you can’t ignore
Since oil always drips onto the floor
Well worth it all I do adore
Home made latkes not from the store

(CHORUS) 2X
