Twas the night before Chanukah, Boychics and Maidels Not a sound could be heard, not even the draidels. The menorah was set by the chimney alight While in kitchen the Bubbie was choppin a bite Salami, pastrami, a glusele tay Mit zoyera pickles and bagels - oy vey! Gezunt and geshmock the kinderlach felt While dreaming of taiglach and Chanukah gelt. The alarm clock was sitting, a kloping and ticking While the Bubbie was carving a shtickele chicken. A tummel arose like the wildest k'duchas - Santa had fallen right on his tuchas! I put on my slippers, ein tzvie, drei While the Bubbie was eating herring on rye. I put on my bathrobe and buttoned my gotkes While Bubbie was just devouring the latkes. To the window I ran and to my surprise A little red yarmulke greeted my eyes! Then he got to the door and saw the menorah "Yiddishe kinder," he cried, "Kenahora!" "I thought I was in a goyishe hoise As long as I'm here I'll leave a few toys." "Come into the kitchen I'll give you a dish - A gupel, a leffel, a shtickele fish." With smacks of delight he started his fressen Chopped liver, knaidlach and kreplach gegessen. Along with his meal he had a few schnapps - When it comes to eating, this fellow is tops! He asked for some knishes with feffer and zaltz - By they were to hot and he yelled "Oy gevalt!" He loosened his hoisen as he ran from the tish "Your koshereh meals are simply delish!" As he went through the door he said "See you later I'll be back next Pesah, in time for the seder." So chutzmir and zeitzmir and bleibt nir gezun" He called out cheerily into the wind, More rapid than eagles his prancers they came, As he whistled and shouted and called them by name "Come Izzie! Now Moishe! Now Yussel and Sammy!" On Duveed and Maxie and Hymie and Manny!" He gave a geshrai as he drove out of sight - "A gut yum tov to all and to all a good night

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree,
We'll chop you up for firewood…
I saw three ships come sailing in,
On Christmas day, On Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in,
Then sunk them without warning…
Dong Dong Merrily on High
Who writes these stupid lyrics?
Dong Dong Merrily the Sky
Some drug crazed fools and cynics…
