Lyrics:

We are inspired
By candles' fire
We tell the story
When light lasted eight days
The Greeks were cruel, no heart
But we Jews fought hard
To victory
And the light lasted eight days
(Gonna fry) up some potato pancakes
(For eight nights) And when it's ready I'll play
(When it's dry) This dreidel's free of BPA
'Cause I made it out of clay
First night: this shirt, babe
And then this tie
Getting gifts as candles glow
Chillin' with my family
And I'll keep on getting gifts all eight nights
It's the festival of lights 
We don't stop at one or two
That is not enough for Jews 
Gotta celebrate for eight nights
So let's do it right
Doing it the Hillel way
Lighting one more each day
Guess what -- it's gonna be eight
Yooooooo
I'll tell you what I light, what I really wanna light
Just tell me what you light, what you really wanna light
I light a...
Really really wanna light a chanukiah
If you wanna be my latke
You gotta get in this pan
Cooking you so greasy
'Til you're nice and tan
Judah Maccabee's the leader
Fought with all his friends
So we could have Jewish freedom
L'olam va'ed!
If you wanna be my latke
Some get one day, then gift-giving's done
Not me
It's gonna...
It's gonna be eight
(Tell me why) each year we tell the story
(Tell me why) we're thinking of the Maccabees
(Tell me why) this light inside our hearts is so great
'Cause light lasted eight days
Our light's lasting eight days
