I like latkes – lots and lots of latkes. They’re golden brown. I gobble ’em down
With sour cream and apple sauce. A taste deserving of applause
I could eat ’em all day long. ‘Cause……….latkes are the best
Come an-swer the ques-tion: Which one is the best one?

Hamentaschen are so sweet. They’re full of stuff that’s great to eat.
Latkes are greasy. I eat them I’m queasy,
Some-times even sneezy. They make me un-easy.
Hamentaschen are the best

I once heard a story about a doctor who claimed That eating Hamentaschen affects the brain.
“The more you eat,” this doctor said, “You’re liable to wind up sick in bed.
All that prune filling will go to your head, So eat potato latkes instead.”
Latkes are the best

And it tastes like glue………
Hamentaschen are always in fashion. Hamentaschen are the best

Hanukkah Flame – Nefesh Mountain
Hanukkah candlelight, see my flame. Shining on my window’s pane;
Come flicker ‘cross my glassy glass. And light each lonesome one to pass.
If your lifelong heavy load. Brings you down my path and down my road,
My light of Hanukkah shines your way. To ask you in to rest a day.
Hanukkah candle dances warm. To help you weather your heavy storm;
Shines like my lighthouse light this night. To bring your worried soul my light
Now as I light my first and my last. Of all nine candles to guide you past
Through these winds of blowing snows. To take you to your Hanukkah home.
Hanukkah candle dances warm. To help you weather your heavy storm;
Shines like my lighthouse light this night. To bring your worried soul my light
If you don’t wish to stop inside. Too bashful, proud, or afraid of pride,
I’ll send my beam to light your dream. Under your snow, where my new grass hides.
Hanukkah candle dances warm. To help you weather your heavy storm;
Shines like my lighthouse light this night. To bring your worried soul my light
Blue Hanukkah (Lyrics) – Elvis Presley
I’ll have a blue Hanukkah without you
I’ll be so blue thinking about you
Menorahs of light, playing dreidels at night
Won’t be the same dear, if you’re not eating latkes with me
And when those blue Soufganiyot start cooking
That’s when those blue memories start calling
You’ll be doing all right, with your own Festival of Light
But I’ll have a blue blue, blue, blue Hanukkah
You’ll be doing all right, with your own Festival of Light
But I’ll have a blue blue, blue, blue Hanukkah
