CHANUKAH IS SUCH A GREAT YOM TOV- Sung & Composed by Shmuel Kunda- The Miraculous Menorah

VERSE 1:
Chanukah is such a great Yuntiff
Oh there is nothing like it anywhere,
Yes Chanukah is such a great Yuntiff
Oh there is nothing like it to compare.

Chanukah’s the time for playing dreidel
It’s not important if I lose or win,
So long as I’m the one that gets the gimmel
Oh and you’re the one that gets the shin.

CHORUS 1:
Playing in the snow with freezing laughter
Inside the candles glowing on the sill,
Eating Bubby’s latkes hours after
It takes 100 just to get our fill.

Listening in the kitchen past our bedtime
To Zaidy’s stories filled with sound effects,
First we’re very scared and then we’re laughing
Because we’re never sure what’s coming next!

VERSE 2:
We get shiny pennies that we jingle
Deep in our pockets for a yuntiff thrill,
But we’d be much more happy with a single
Old and worn out paper dollar bill.

Yes, Chanukah they lit the big menorah
And for 8 days it burned so clean and pure,
And we do the same to remember
And then we try to sing the Maoz Tzur.

CHORUS 2:
Yes, Chanukah’s the time the Chashmona’im
Chased the Yevanim out that were so cruel,
Chanukah’s the time that we see nissim
Because they gave us one day off from school.

Listening in the kitchen past our bedtime
To Zaidy’s stories filled with sound effects,
First we’re very scared and then we’re laughing
Because we’re never sure what’s coming next!
