Jelly, jelly ro1l,
Fresh flour and fried dough
Eat them Jelly,
Eat them jelly rolls.
Potato good, potato hot,
Baked potato it is not
Eat them latkes,
Eat them latkes now
Chorus
Judah Maccabee
Just the guy I want to be
Cause he stood up to Antiochus
Feels so good it gives me nachis.
Nun Gimmel
Shin Heh
Chanukah last for eight straight days
Cause a great miracle happened long ago.
Light the shamus,
Then light the rest
From the north, east, south and west
Everyone lights them candles now
Chorus
Judah Macabee
Knew the temple was the place to be.
But when he got there,
He found it all in ruins.
And Judah found the lamp,
Just a drop of oil, it was cold and damp.
So he lit it,
And it burned for eight straight days.
Chorus
More than one,
But less than nine.
Eight gifts sounds mighty fine
‘Cause Chanukah lasts for eight straight.
Coda
A great miracle happened long ago.
Everyone, lights them candles now.
