Lyrics

[Chorus]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Days of love
Days of eight
Days of Hanukkah
Every one of them glows with love
[Chorus]
Eight days of Hanukkah
Every one of them glows with love
[Chorus]
Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two
[Verse 1]
Day one
Time to light a candle
For those Maccabees whose oil did burn and burn
[Verse 2]
Day two
Time to spin the dreidel
And hope that gimel shows up on my turn
[Verse 3]
Day three
Fry a bunch of latkes with applesauce, sour cream, and all
[Verse 4]
Day four
We're cooking up the brisket
The kosher butcher sold my uncle Saul
[Verse 5]
Day five
I like it more than Pesach
Let's leave the Manischewitz on the shelf
[Verse 6]
Day six
Gifts for the children
Five dollar checks from great grandma Sel
[Verse 7]
Day seven
Light a whole bunch of candles
Gotta keep that shamas going right to left
All the way until
[Verse 8]
Day eight
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Days of love
Days of eight days of Hanukkah (Eight days of Hanukkah)
[Chorus]
Every one of them glows with love (Glows with love)
Eight days of Hanukkah (Eight days of Hanukkah)
Every one of them glows with love (Love)
[Chorus]
Eight days (Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel)
Eight days (I made it out of clay)
Eight days (And when it's dry and ready, yeah)
Eight days (Oh, dreidel I will play)
Eight days (Talking about that menorah)
Eight days (Yeah, hey)
[Outro]
Eight days
Eight days
Eight days
Eight days
Eight days
Eight days
Eight days
Eight days
