Era-lution of Taylor Swift (Chanukah's version) Lyrics

Candles glow just like the Menorah in days of old

Miracles drove the mighty Greeks out of our home

One vial of oil, it lasted for eight days

Chanukah story, that's when we say...

Neis

With Judah leading all his brothers and the brave Jews

Fought the Grecian army

And it made Jews free

Judah Maccabee

Judah Maccabee

They defiled the Temple when they walked in

But we drove them right out

Jews, we fought hard against the Seleucids

Now we're lighting candes tall and proud

Oh! Oh...

The Temple, Temple, Temple

We may never, ever, ever know the proper letters

We may never, ever, ever know the proper letters

Are there one or two K's? Does it start with H, or C?

We may never, ever, ever use the proper letters

Cause we're feeling so festive

It's time for Chanukah

Let's say those blessings

And have a sufganiyah

I wish they made Starbucks latkes

To eat beside the flame

We tell of a great neis, zaidy

For eight nights and days

Red flames are twinkling

Saying "Al Hanissim"

Eating lots of latkes with sour cream

‘Cause, baby, now I got bad luck

All I wanted was gimmel

But all I'm spinning is nun

‘Cause, baby, now I got bad luck, hay!

Lighting candles every night

And they gleam

I know I'm gonna eat fried foods

And they'll taste divine

Getting ready for it...

Ooh! I'm proud to be.a Jew

Our pride is strong and true

I'm so proud to be a Jew (2x)

We'll never back down

We're Jewish and proud

And I'm just like...

We'll never be stopped

So like it or not, we're sticking around

We're free, guys

Thanks to G-d, we are free

It's peacetime

Now we've beaten the Greeks

Our enemies, they were relentless and they thought they broke us

It was so exulting, our defeating evil Antiochus

Cause latkes are potatoes

Latkes are the bomb

Latkes must be seasoned with care before we eat them

Latkes go with applesauce

We make latkes fried like that

And it's true

The way that we fought off Greek rule

With strength and with passion

Let's celebrate with each other

Thanks to Judah and his brothers

All done, coming back from the war

And we cried when we saw the Temple trashed to the floor

Then we lit the menorah anew

Now we're gonna keep traditions, gonna keep Jewish

We tell G-d, "thank you for the miracles!"

Spin a nun and you don’t get none

And you put one in if you’re landin’ on a shin

If you wind up with a hay, you get half the total pay

But if you spin a little gimmel then you take, take, take…

Cause we’re counting up to eight, eight, eight, eight, eight

We escaped an awful fate, fate, fate, fate, fate

We're gonna celebrate, -brate, -brate, -brate, -brate

It’s Chanukah, Chanukah!

Light the candles every night, night, night, night, night

And the blessings we'll recite, -cite, -cite, -cite, -cite

For the Festival of Light, Light, Light, Light, Light

It’s Chanukah, Chanukah!
