[Intro: Alex & Hughie, Keith]
Antiochus was trying to kill all the Jews
Then Judah Maccabee led the Jews to save the Jews
They thought they didn't have enough oil
To keep on the lights
But the oil lasted them for eight nights
(spoken)
Then what happened?
(sung)
That's it!

[Verse 1: Keith, Keith & Hughie]
This is what I've come to learn about Chanukah
Without ever having celebrated Chanukah
The Festival of Lights and Adam Sandler
You get gifts every night
And it's all done by candlelight
And you can gamble
With a top on the counter

[Pre-Chorus: Lewberger, Keith, Alex]
And your mom will make you latkes every day
Perfectly golden fried potato cakes
Sour cream and applesauce
Arrive to the table with much applause
Yes, latkes are the miracle of Chanukah
(spoken)
Keith, the potato pancakes are not the miracle of Chanukah
(sung)
Well then how do they get them so crispy
When I see 'em my eyes get misty
A pile of spuds for my buds
A dollop of cream in my dreams
Those greasy chopped-up potatoes
That honor Judah Maccabee
[Chorus: Lewberger]
Latkes are the reason for Chanukah
Potatoes are in season for Chanukah
I don't know how to spell it
But I love it when I smell it
Those little potato miracles sent from God

[Verse 2: Lewberger]
Potato pancakes
The oil helped them [?]
They ate potato pancakes
Crispy golden brown
I always love to try it
The delicious way they fry it
Just like the Maccabees when they invented the Jewish hashbrown

[Pre-Chorus: Lewberger]
And your mom will make you latkes every night
The reason for The Festival of Lights
The way to conquer Greece
Is to eat food covered in grease

[Chorus: Lewberger, Alex, Hughie, Keith]
Yes, latkes are the miracle of Chanukah
Latkes are the reason for Chanukah
Potatoes are in season for Chanukah
Antiochus couldn't stop them
Once the sour cream had taught them
Those little potato miracles sent from God
Oh! The mushed-up, chopped-up apples sent from God
Oh! The pasteurized, dated cream sent from God
Oh!
The oddly wide candelabra sent from God
Yes, latkes are the reason for Chanukah
[Outro: Hughie, Alex]
(spoken)
Chag Sameach!
Amen
