“Hanukkah is / The Festival of Lights / Instead of one day of presents / We have eight crazy nights!”

“Gather 'round the table / We'll give you a treat, / Dreidels to play with and latkes to eat”

“One for each night, they shed a sweet light / To remind us of days long ago”

“Tippy tap toe! Happy Hanukkah! / Round you go! My little latke!”

“In this time of year in days of Yore/ Maccabees the Temple did restore / And tonight our people as we dream / Will arise, unite, and be redeemed”

“They breached the walls of my towers / and they defiled all the oils; / And from the one remnant of the flasks / a miracle was wrought for the roses”

 “Not by power / Not by might / But by my spirit”

“We never get together at all / Until the last day of Hanukkah / I got you a harmonica / And a bag of chocolate coins”

“Oh Hanukkah, Oh, Hanukkah / Come light the menorah / Come to our party / We'll all dance the hora”

“These Chanukah lights we kindle / In honor of the miracles, the wonders / And salvation wrought”

“Sivivon, sov, sov, sov / Chanukah, hu chag tov” (“Dreidel, spin, spin, spin / Chanukah is a great holiday”)
