THE CHANUKAH PART

1. OH CHANUKAH (Cm)

Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah,

come light the menorah

Let's have a party,

we'll all dance the horah

Gather 'round the table,

we'll give you a treat

Dreidels to play with

and latkes to eat.

And while we are playing

The candles are burning low

One for each night, ]

they shed a sweet light (2X)

To remind us of days long ago. ]

4. THE LATKE SONG BY D3BB1E (Dm)

I am so mixed up that I cannot tell you,

I’m sitting in this blender turning brown.

I’ve made friends with the onions and the flour,

And the cook is scouting oil in the town.

I sit here wondering what will come of me,

I can’t be eaten looking as I do.

I need someone to take me out and cook me,

Or I’ll really end up in a royal stew.

I am a latke, I am a latke.

And I am waiting for Hanukkah to come.

I am a latke, I am latke.

And I am waiting for Hanukkah to come.

Every holiday has foods so special,

I’d like to have that same attention too,

I do not want to spend life in this blender,

Wondering what I’m supposed to do.

Matzah And choroset are for Pesach, (FOR PESACH)

Chopped liver (what?) and challah for Shabbat

Blintzes on Shavuot are delicious,

And gefilte fish no holiday’s without. (THIS ISN’T TRUE)

I am a latke, I am a latke.

And I am waiting for Hanukkah to come.

I am a latke, I am latke.

And I am waiting for Hanukkah to come.

And if you are somebody who hates latkes

I ask you what did LATKE! do to you?

We’re just harmless taters, eggs, and flour

And for most people super chill to chew

So look around and babe, let’s read the room-ka

It’s not geometry or calculus

If YOU are one of those who don’t like latkes

Then congrats your prize is being super sus

WE ALL ARE LATKE

YES YOU ARE LATKE

AND WE ARE WAITING

FOR CHANUKAH TO COME

WE ALL ARE LATKE

WITH SEVERAL VODKA

AND WE ARE WAITING

FOR CHANUKAH TO COME

5. I HAVE A LITTLE DREIDEL (Eb)

I have a little dreidel,

I made it out of clay

And when it’s dry and ready,

Oh dreidel, I shall play

Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,

I made you out of clay

And when you’re dry and ready,

Oh Dreidel we shall play

It has a lovely body,

it loves to dance and spin

And when it gets all tired,

it drops, and then I win

Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,

I made you out of clay

And when you’re dry and ready,

Oh Dreidel we shall play

I have a lovely body,

I love to dance and spin

And when I get all tired,

I drop, and then I win

Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,

I made you out of clay

And when you’re dry and ready,

Oh Dreidel we shall play

8. LET IT SNOW (Eb)

Oh the weather outside is frightful,

But the fire is so delightful,

And since we've no place to go,

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping,

And I've bought some corn for popping,

The lights are turned way down low,

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,

How I'll hate going out in the storm!

But if you'll really hold me tight,

All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,

And, my dear, we're still good-bying,

But as long as you love me so,

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

9. JINGLE B3LLZ (F)

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

10. WINTER WONDERLAND (C)

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight.

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,

Here to stay is a new bird

He sings a love song, as we go along,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

(E) In the meadow we can build a snowman,

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

(G) He'll say: Are you married?

We'll say: No man,

But you can do the job

When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the plans that we've made,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

(E) In the meadow we can build a snowman,

And pretend that he's a circus clown

(G) We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,

Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,

Though your nose gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play the Brooklynian way,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

11. OLE ‘RUDE’ DOLPH THE RED HOSED REINDEER (C)

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose.

And if you ever saw him,

you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolph

join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say:

"Rudolph with your nose so bright,

won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,

you'll go down in history!

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say:

"Rudolph with your nose so bright,

won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,

you'll go down in history!

THE QUIET SET

13. CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE (F)

Christmas time is here, happiness and cheer,

Fun for all that children call their favorite time of year.

Snowflakes in the air, carols everywhere,

Olden times and ancient rhymes and love and dreams to share.

Sleigh bells in the air; beauty every where;

Yuletide by the fireside and joyful memories there.

Christmas time is here; we'll be drawing near;

Oh that we could always see such spirit through the year,

Oh that we could always see such spirit through the year.

14. tHe ChRi5m45 50nG (C)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some

Mistletoe help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies nn his sleigh

And every mother's Child is gonna spy to see if

Reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase

to kids from one to ninety-two

Altho' it's been said many times, many ways

'Merry Christmas to you’.

15. HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS (G)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,

Let your heart be light

From now on, our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,

Make the Yule-tide gay,

From now on, our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,

Happy golden days of yore.

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together

If the Fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

16. SANTA BABY (G)

Santa baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me

Been an awful good girl

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue

I'll wait up for you, dear

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun I've missed

Think of all the fella's that I haven't kissed

Next year I could be just as good

If you check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot

Been an angel all year

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa honey, one little thing I really need

The deed to a platinum mine

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with the duplex and checks

Sign your 'x' on the line

Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree

With some decorations bought at Tiffany's

I really do believe in you

Let's see if you believe in me

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing

A ring, I don't mean on the phone

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry, tonight

MARIAH IS COMING TO TOWN

17. FELIZ NAVIDAD (A)

Feliz Navidad

Prospero Ano y Felicidad.

Feliz Navidad

Prospero Ano y Felicidad.

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas

From the bottom of my heart.

18. FROSTY THE SNOWPOOP (C)

Frosty the Snowman,

was a jolly happy soul,

With a corn cob pipe

and a button nose,

and two eyes made of coal.

Frosty the Snowman

is a fairytale, they say.

He was made of snow,

but the children know

he came to life one day.

There must have been some

magic in that old silk hat they found,

For when they placed it on his head,

he began to dance around!

Oh, Frosty, the Snowman,

was alive as he could be;

and the children say

he could laugh and play,

just the same as you and me.

Thumpety thump, thump,

thumpety thump, thump,

look at Frosty go.

Thumpety thump, thump,

thumpety thump, thump,

over the hills of snow.

Frosty the Snowman,

knew the sun was hot that day,

so he said, "Let's run, and we'll have some fun

now, before I melt away."

Down to the village,

with a broomstick in his hand,

Running here and there,

all around the square,

sayin', "Catch me if you can."

He led them down the streets of town,

right to the traffic cop;

and only paused a moment,

when he heard him holler, "Stop!"

For Frosty, the Snowman,

had to hurry on his way,

But he waved goodbye, sayin'

"Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day."

19. JINGLE BELL THE ROCK (Bb)

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That's the jingle bell,

That's the jingle bell rock

20. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IzU (G)

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you, yeah.

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

And I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

And I'm just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby [repeat with ad-libs until fade]
