Come light the menorah Come light the menorah Let’s have a party Let’s have a party We’ll all smash the torah We’ll all dance the hora Gather round the table Gather round the table We’ll give you a treat We’ll give you a treat Cabin boys to play with S’vivon to play with And wenches to eat And latkes to eat And while we are boozing And while we are playing The candles are burning bright The candles are burning bright One for each night that we shed the sweet blood One for each night, they shed a sweet light Of the ships that we sunk long ago To remind us of days long ago

The things that befell them, The things that befell us, Who can count them? Who can count them? There was no hero or sage In every age a hero or sage To come to their aid Came to our aid
