lyrics

Jelly, Jelly Roll
Fresh flour and fried dough
Eat them jelly, eat them jelly rolls
Potato good potato hot
Baked potato it is not
Eat them latkes, eat them latkes now
Judah Maccabbe
Just the guy I want to be
'Cause he stood up to Antiochus
Feels so good it gives me naches
Nun, gimel, shin, hei
Chanukah lasts for eight straight days
Cause a great miracle happened long ago
Light the shamash
Then light the rest
From the north and east and south and west
Everyone lights them candles now
Judah Maccabbe
Just the guy I want to be
'Cause he stood up to Antiochus
Feels so good it gives me naches
Judah Maccabbe
Knew the temple was the place to be
But when he got there
He found it all in ruins
And Judah
Found the lamp
Just a drop of oil it was cold and damp
So he lit it
And it burned for eight straight days
Judah stood up to Antiochus
Feels so good it gives me naches
More than one less than nine
Eight gifts sounds mighty fine
'Cause Chanukah
Lasts for eight straight days
A great miracle happened long ago
Everyone lights them candles now
