Eight Days of Fire

They beat the Greeks

and they chased them away.
Their flask of oil

would burn just one day.
They lit the wick -
Oh, what a trick!
Ribono Shel Olam, Eight days of Fire!

They cleaned the temple

an' they made it look nice.
Brought a couple cows

for a sacrifice.
Those Maccabees -
Threw out the sleaze.
Ribono Shel Olam, Eight days of Fire!

CHORUS
Light those candles, oooh...

from left to right
Place that Menorah

over by the window in plain sight
Those lights
So bright
Add another candle every night,night,night,night

We open up the presents

as we sing "Maoz Tzur".
You hope it ain't clothes

but you can never be sure.
Instead of "Gelt",
You got a belt!
Ribono Shel Olam, Eight days of Fire!

CHORUS

We spin the "dreidel"

an' we don't go to school.
We chant the "Hallel"

every morning in "Shul".
Dressed in "Gatkes",
We scarf down "latkes"
Ribono Shel Olam, Eight days of Fire!
