(No Tears Left to Cry)
First night I'm in a state of mind
I wanna be in like all eight nights
We got some latkas to fry
So I'm cookin' 'em up, cookin' 'em up
I'm mixin' and fixin' and cookin' 'em up
Flippin' it up, flippin' it up
Loving and lighting so we burn 'em up
Yeah we burnin' it up
(Positions)
Livin' them traditions of Jews
Latkas in the kitchen and sufganiyot too
Talk about the miracles the old and the new
Lightin' the menorah say shehecheyanu
And we will all do traditions of Jews
Latkas in the kitchen and sufganiyot too
Talk about the miracles the old and the new
Know God's might infinite nothing Greeks could ever do
And we will stay true to traditions of Jews
(7 Rings)
Polished menorahs and bright colored candles
Food cooked in oil I barely can handle
Sevivon and Al Hanisim to sing
Get yourself all of your chanukah things
2000 years we have been celebrating
Stir the potatoes with onions we're grating
Four little letters just look at them spin
Nun then a gimmel a hay and a shin (yuh)
My wrist keep watchin' my form is flawless
I spin the dreidel my coins are chocolate
You like my gelt? Todah just won it
I see it, I spin it, a gimmel, I got it
A gimmel, I got it, a gimmel, I got it,
A gimmel, I got it, a gimmel, I got it
No shins, no nuns, no hays, just gimmels
I see it, I spin it, a gimmel...
(Side to Side)
We're singin' to ya
'Cause the Maccabees would study the torah
Now we put the candles in the menorah
And we all gotta say the blessings
We'll light 'em for ya
And we got a lotta gelt on the table
Doesn't matter 'cause we'll beat you at dreidel
And the sufganiyot are tempting
These lights will never shine too much
Our people don't give up
Dispel the dark the with the light
It lasted eight nights
It lasted eight days
And now we gotta light it left to right
Lighting candles eight nights
Add a candle each day
And my menorah is getting lit from left to right
(Break Free)
Antiyochus told us
We couldn't pray like before
But then Judah and his brothers
Wouldn't take anymore
'Cause they weren't afraid to die in the fight
God stretched out his hand as they showed their heart
Then the oil lasted for eight nights
Now we celebrate 'cause it's chanukah
This is the part when the war of Judea
Made us stronger than we'd been before
This is the part when the Maccabees
Made Assyrian oppression no more
This is the part where we light the menorah
Just like in all those years before
This is the part we were made free
And that's why we sing Maoz Tzur
