Light the Menorah

This holiday season, remember those who celebrate with eight days and a menorah.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

If I may take the liberty to come and speak about the holiday that takes a day and a week, If this winter you're going to travel on home, All I gotta say is shalom shalom, If you look in my window something's burning bright It's the thing that kept us living on through the night Time and time again my faith does it right and I know that the good's in sight, alright, Well I've heard some say Jews are weak at the core, But circumcision's more than anything you've taken before, It's easy to go on without bacon or pork cause we got the big apple right here in New York, When I'm blessing on Friday, Adonai is what I'm saying, When the eight days come around, Dreidel Dreidel I'll be playing, You've probably been learning bout John the Baptist, So to taste a new flavor, come and try out a bris, As I'm reading up the scroll in my chrome-covered torah, Got my tallis on my back, on my head is my fedora, All these guys looking round for a shiksa with an aura, But I stay true to the game with my jewish senora, Got many forms of the religion you can rock, There's hasidic and there's reform, then you got your orthodox, Before you eat your bagel, better pick up some lox, Cause Hannukah's coming and we're all at the top

Chorus:

Now it's time to light, light, light the menorah

Verse 2:

I'm known at the parties, get the gelt with a gimel, I talk to many people like a Jewish Jimmy Kimmel, On Sabbath, I'm the one screaming out the T'filah, I gather kids around to dance the Hava Nagila, Mr. Adam Levine wears a yamukah to bed, He gets good graces when he puts it on his head, Who directed E.T., yeah cut it on the floor? Steven Spielberg has a mezzuzah on his door, When I turn on the tube, blue and yellow's on the screen, Freaks and Geeks was a classic, but TV execs. were mean, Woody Allen is a star, but he has some bad genes and how old is his wife? Is she almost fifteen? In Munich, Eric Bana gave a name for the Jews, As Seth Rogen said, he turned around the abuse, Seinfeld got some of the best reviews, but it's time to let loose, yo, let's cruise

Chorus:

Now it's time to light, light, light the menorah

Breakdown:

As I look to the sky, my star's burning bright, I'm feeling all the faith as I'm staring at the light, And I'm never gonna live my life acting so skittish, Cause I'm fluent and Hebrew and perfect in Yiddish, Grape juice was my highest intake of doses, I part the red sea with tomato soup like Moses, At age thirteen, I began my manhood, I pulled out the prayers, at the bema I stood, I cleared my mind, I lit the candle, As I pushed the tradition, I knew I had the handle to run up to the mic and say Judaism is the way that some can have their perfect day so keep on living, keep your praise

Chorus:

Now it's time to light, light, light the menorah
Eight days and eight nights, light, light the menorah, Eight days and light, light the menorah, Eight crazy nights, light, light the menorah, Light, light, light the menorah, If you really wanna know the eight days and eight nights with you, Tonight we will light the menorah

Thank You

G_D Bless.

Now more than ever it is important to look at all the hardships the people of the Jewish faith have been through and try to apply the lessons learned from these hardships to the present and future.
