Chanukah Tonight!

Place one candle on the first night And the shamash to light it Place two candles on the second night And the matches near Place three candles on the third night And four candles on the fourth night When the candles are ready to light It's Chanukah tonight Light the candles, sing the blessing Eat some latkes, spin that dreidel Thank the Lord who let us see this Chanukah tonight Antiochus was a bad king He forbade us our religion But the Maccabees saved the temple And restored our faith. When they had cleaned up the temple Dound one day's oil for the menorah When they lit the oil it burned for Eight days on end Place five candles on the fifth night And the shamash to light it Place six candles on the sixth night And the matches near Place seven candles on the seventh night And eight candles on the eighth night When the candles are ready to light It's Chanukah tonight. Light the candles, sing the blessing Eat some latkes, spin that dreidel Thank the Lord who let us see this Chanukah tonight On the eighth night, when we light them All the candles light up our home We remember our tradition Thank the Lord who let us see this night Light the candles, sing the blessing Eat some latkes, spin that dreidel Thank the Lord who let us see this Chanukah tonight Bless the Lord tonight
