Sunday Song Lyric:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2008_12_21-2008_12_27.shtml#1229871299
Hanukkah is "almost hip," [1]according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The CPD largely credits Adam Sandler and his Hanukkah Song (really
[2]songs) helped highlight the holiday. There are at least three
versions of the song. Here's a portion of the first.
Put on your yalmulka, here comes Hanukkah
Its so much fun-akkah to celebrate Hanukkah,
Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights,
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.
When you feel like the only [E] kid in town without a Xmas tree,
Heres a list of people who are Jewish, just like you and me:
David Lee Roth lights the menorrah,
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah
An Adam Sandler fan site has the [3]full lyrics (with chords). A video
is [4]here.
