Woody Guthrie - HAPPY JOYOUS HANUKA lyrics

How many nights for Hanukah?

Happy joyous Hanukah

Nights and days, days and nights,

Happy joyous Hanukah

Chorus:

Eight are the nights of Hanukah

Happy joyous Hanukah

Eight are the days, and eight are the nights

Happy joyous Hanukah

How many candles do I light?

Happy joyous Hanukah

Eight are the candles you should light

For a Happy joyous Hanukah

(Chorus)

One for Moses on the Mount

Happy joyous Hanukah

Two for the mother and father love

Happy Joyous Hanukah

(Chorus)

Three for the Books that Ezra taught

Happy joyous Hanukah

Four’s for the Hebrew children

Happy joyous Hanukah

(Chorus)

Five for the Brothers Maccabee

Happy joyous Hanukah

Six for the tricks the King did play

Happy Joyous Hanukah

(Chorus)

Seven for the sons of Hannah that died

Not so happy Hanukah

Eight for the newbuilt alter place

Happy joyous Hanukah

(Chorus)

Nine is the light of God that shines

Happy joyous Hanukah

Around this whole wide world tonight

Happy joyous Hanukah

(Chorus)

Nine is for God’s light that shines

Eight for the newbuilt alter place

Seven for the sons of Hannah that died

Six for kings and the tricks they tried

Five for the brothers Maccabee

Four for the Hebrew children

Three for the Books that Ezra taught

Two for the father and mother love

One for Moses on the Mount

Eight are the night of Hanukah

Happy joyous Hanukah

Eight are the days and eight are the nights

Happy Joyous Hanukah

HAPPY JOYOUS HANUKAH!
