LYRICS
Candles we’re lighting on Chanukah
Blessings reciting on Chanukah
Fried foods we’re biting on Chanukah
Family uniting for Chanukah
I made a clay dreidel to spin
Why does it only land on shin?
Sufganiyot with my family
I’ll take a latke, if you please!
Chocolate money on Chanukah
Latkes are crunchy on Chanukah
Presents from Bubbe on Chanukah
I want a puppy for Chanukah!
Latke!
Menorah!
Come gather around the menorah
And light each candle’s flame
While proudly, we proclaim: We’re free!
Menorah, recall the great Temple’s menorah
And how the oil they found
Kept burning strong and proud, brightly!
Menorah!
Watch the flames as they’re dancing, swaying
Feel the joy of the blessings we’re saying
Menorah!
With eight lights it’s called chanukiah
Dear mighty Antiochus
You gotta understand
Your boys can kiss our tuchus
And get out of our land
The soldiers smashed our temple
And all our oil is bad
Goodness, Grecians, now you’ve made us mad!
Gee, King Antiochus, you’re really obtuse
You’ll never get us worshipping Apollo or Zeus
We don’t bow to idols you made out of wood
This polytheism’s no good
It’s no good!
It’s no good, it's no good
No, it's just no good
All this polytheism’s no good
Eight nights, eight nights
We celebrate God’s might
And Maccabees for saving the day
Eight nights, eight nights
A festival of lights
We give thanks that we’ve lived to this day
Eight days, we’ll have this celebration
For miracles that happened
The victories and the light
Now, here we are
Our hearts and candles shining like stars
Eight nights! - Hudba
U wonderful beautiful young Jewish men 🫶
We love u and sure are very proud of u , and thank God for our wonderful men !!!
Spellbinding! Yasher Koach!!!
Agree! It made me smile, laugh, and almost cry. I hope you do believe the words about the Lord's greatness and power.
Blessed are you Lord for saving the Jewish people. You are compassionate to all that you have made. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is your love to those who fear you!
Did you know that during Hanukkah 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ taught in the temple in Jerusalem? There he said,
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand." Bible, John 10:27,28
How cute! Chanukah Sameach from ירושלים

Steven is no longer with us to reach out to Google to have it taken down for copyright. Baruch Ha'Shem - it's too good to be taken down. Love it
Great performence...Chag Channuka Sameach!

This is unbelievable! The creativity is out of this world and the vocal arrangements are just amazingly tight. Fabulous - and kept it up! Happy Hanukkah 🕎!
Love, love love it! Great lyrics! Bernstein would love it, too!
I agree! ❤
Awesome!
WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you.

Excellent! So clever.
It is such a pleasure to listen and see all these talented, hansom, joyful boys!!! Thank you!
I Loved this! Thank you so much Six13. Didn't think you could match the brilliance of Bohemian Chanukah, but you managed to do it (and maybe even surpass it). And Stephen Sondheim passed just this week (RIP). This West Side Story Overture adaption is awesome. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. "Latke!" "Goodness Grecians" "Kiss my tuchus" Lol. So funny.
spread the uplifting talent, spirit and message!
Stunning! Thank you so much for this addition.
Where was this when I was a little kid and there was nothing but Christmas specials on TV every night -- and nothing at all for Channukah?? :)

This is great! I've got tears!
Just wonderful! Thank you for posting!
So clever!!!
When you're a Jew you're a Jew all the way
!! Great idea
Probably they thought of that but decided that discretion was the better part of valor when it comes to public videos. I suspect they may do it in private performances for Jews.
The video made me smile, laugh, and almost cry. I hope you do believe the words about the Lord's greatness and power.
