A Hanukkah Song
(Sung to the tune of "Walking
in a Winter Wonderland") In the kitchen, briskets roasting.
Lox are sliced, bagels toasting.
On Hanukkah night our clothes are too tight
cause Bubbie's cooking up a feast for ten.
Put away is each latke, applesauce, Grandpa's vodka.
On Hanukkah night, we'll nosh till daylight
cause Bubbie's cookin up a feast for ten.
Chorus:
On the stove top, kugel is a-coolin
and each child gets some chocolate gelt.
We will stuff ourselves with noodle puddin
and blintzes, knishes, and a herring melt.
Later on, we will suffer
cause we ate too much supper.
We're bloated and ill from fried falafel
cause Bubbie's cookin up a feast for ten.

1. No Irving Berlin songs
An elderly Rabbi is walking down the street one day when
he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house
across the street. However, the boy is very small and the doorbell
is too high for him to reach. After watching the boys efforts
for some time, the Rabbi moves closer to the boy's position.
He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little
fellow and placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder leans
over and gives the doorbell a solid ring. Crouching down to the
child's level, the Rabbi smiles benevolently and asks, "And
now what, my little man?" To which the boy replies, "Now
we run!"
