lyrics

You say you wanna throw a Christmas Party
Nobody blinks an eye
I say I wanna throw a Chanukah Party
You turn around and ask me why
It’s not a religious thing
Cuz I’m a secular Jew
I just wanna have a party
with music and food and you, and you, and YOU

I think you wanna come
I think we better go
(CHANUKAH PARTY)
Won’t you let me take you to a
(CHANUKAH PARTY)
Come on, let’s go

We got Matzoh balls and wontons
Got a couple standup comedians
Dance music pumping from the 2s and 1s
We’re only here just to have fun

There’s a girl in the corner
Maybe my mom would like her
I should invite her for dinner
Wait! We’re already here
You might be neurotic
Hey, that’s just like me
Well come out to my party
and we’ll let go of our fears

(CHANUKAH PARTY)
I think we better go
(CHANUKAH PARTY)
Meet you at the meet you at the
(CHANUKAH PARTY)
I think you wanna come
(CHANUKAH PARTY)
Come on, let’s go

Come on, let’s go
(CHANUKAH PARTY)
I wanna take you to
(CHANUKAH PARTY)
I met her at the met her at the
(CHANUKAH PARTY)
Won’t you let me take you to a
(CHANUKAH PARTY)
