Millions of people observing the same traditions at the same time all over the world - its a powerful image!
Seamus light the shamus
its Chanukah for everyone
Chanukah all over the world
With Baruch Atah Adonai
you can be a Chanukah guy
It's... Chanukah all over the world
From Dublin down to Durban,
from Paris to Peru
Jews all around the world
tell the story that is true
The Maccabees victorious
drove the Syrians from the gate
The temple was destroyed
it was time to rededicate
Carmen light the candles
its Chanukah for everyone
Chanukah all over the world
With Latkes and with dreidel
you can be a sheina meidel
It's... Chanukah all over the world
From New York to Yokohama,
from Moscow to Bombay
Jews around the world light
the candles on this day
The Maccabees victorious
we glorify their fate
It might have burned for one day
but the lamp it burned for eight!
Ming light the Menorah
Its Chanukah for everyone
Chanukah all over the world
Hug your Bubbe and your Zayda,
you'll get your present later...
It's... Chanukah all over the world
It's... Chanukah all over the world
It's... Chanukah all over the world
