Lyrics The Chanukah Song - Neil Diamond

There are so many beautiful Christmas songs around and so few Hanukkah songs
So I thought we′d try this one for you
Put on your yamaka,
Here comes Hanukkah,
So much funikkah to celebrate Hanukkah here

Hanukkah is,
The festival of lights,
Instead of one day of presents we have eight crazy nights

When you feel like the only kid in town,
Without a Christmas tree,
Here's a list of people who are Jewish,
Just like you and me

David Lee Roth,
Lights the Menorah,
So do James Cann, Kirk Douglas and the late Dinah Shora,
Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli,
Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzarelli

Paul Newman is half Jewish,
Goldie Hawn is too,
Put them both together, what a FINE looking Jew!

You don′t have to Deck the Halls with Jingle Bell Rock,
'Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captian Kirk and Mr. Spock
(Both Jewish!)

Put on your yamaka,
Here comes Hanukkah
Some much funikkah to
Celebrate Hanukah

OJ Simpson,
Not a Jew
But guess who is?,
Hall of Famer Rod Carew

We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish
Not too shabby

Some people think that
Ebenezer Scrooge is,
Well he′s not but guess who is?
All three Stooges

So many Jews are on my list
Tom Cruise isn′t,
But Jesus Christ is

Put on your yamaka,
Here comes Hanukkah,
So much funikkah to
Celebrate Hanukah here

Hanukah is
The festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents we have eight crazy nights

So tell your friend Veronica,
It's time to celebrate Hanukkah
And don′t forget a harmonica,
On this lovely, lovely Hanukkah!
Just drink your gin and tonicah,
Don't smoke your marijuanikkah!
If you really, really wannukkah,
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy,
Hanukkah

Oh yes
Happy Hanukah ya′ll
