Maccabees are Coming to Town
By Eric Schrager
(To the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town")
They're grinding their swords
Sharp as a pin
A guerilla war
They're going to win
Maccabees are coming to town
You'd best be a Jew
Or suffer your fate
It does you no good
To assimilate
Maccabees are coming to town
They know if you're Assyrian
They know if you dig Greeks
They see you on the temple mount
Consorting with Hellenistic freaks
You'd best be a Jew
Or suffer your fate
One day's worth of oil
Is gonna last eight
Maccabees are coming to town
