Some say Hanukah, some say Chanukah
Hanukah, Chanukah, Hanukah
And I don’t know why, maybe it’s just a fluke
But, nobody says, Chanookah!
Ha, ha, ha! Hanukah, Hanukah, Hanukah, Hanukah!
Cha, cha, cha! Chanukah, Chanukah, Chanukah, Chanukah!
Ha, Hanukah, Cha, Chanukah, Ha, Hanukah, Cha, Chanukah
Nobody says, Chanookah!
Some say Menorah, some say Menorah.
Menorah, Menorah, Menora!
And really, either way, it makes a lot of sense,
As long as I get some presents!
Ha, ha, ha! Hanukah, Hanukah, Hanukah, Hanukah!
Cha, cha, cha! Chanukah, Chanukah, Chanukah, Chanukah!
Ha, Hanukah, Cha, Chanukah, Ha, Hanukah, Cha, Chanukah
Nobody says, Chanookah!
Some say Dreidel, others say… Dreidel.
In fact, everybody says Dreidel!
And gee it’s fun to watch it spin,
And think about the Chanukah gelt that I might win.
Ha, ha, ha! Hanukah, Hanukah, Hanukah, Hanukah!
Cha, cha, cha! Chanukah, Chanukah, Chanukah, Chanukah!
Ha, Hanukah, Cha, Chanukah, Ha, Hanukah, Cha, Chanukah
Nobody says, Chanookah!
