lyrics

The candles burn bright
(Baby, it's Hanukkah)
It's just the first night
(Baby, it's Hanukkah)
You wonder what I have got in store
(It's just one gift, there's seven more)
Baby, don't get excited
(So happy I was invited)
You think there will be plenty to come?
(Pour us a hot toddy with rum)
Don't you get too delighted
(Candles have been ignited)
After this the presents are done
(What???)

The dreidel will spin
(Back to that present thing...)
Some gelt I will win
(I mean, if it was a ring...)
So happy that you are here with me
(I guess I'll have to wait and see)
Cause even though you're not Jewish,
my mother says your cooking is fine
(What do you mean by "fine"??)
The candles burn bright
(You already said that)
Baby, it's Hanukkah!

It's just the first night
(Baby, it's Hanukkah)
Let's not have a fight
(Cause baby, it's Hanukkah)
So happy that I am here with you
(I'm sorry if you've misconstrued)
The holiday's making sense now
(Glad you're not quite as tense now)
It's really about family and wine
(Manischewitz straight from the vine)
The candles burn bright
(We've already said that)
Baby it's Hanukkah!
