    Lyrics: Year 3000

    One day, when I came home at night time, I heard a funny noise

    Jewish a cappella groups, and another one, and another one

    Right there, was my Zaidie, to tell me, the Chanukah story

    He said we don’t need a time machine to speak of our history, yeah!

    The light of Chanukah spread to thousands

    Though we were few, we came out ten times stronger

    And the great, great, great Menorah

    Will always shine, always shine

    The light of Chanukah spread to thousands

    Though we were few, we came out ten times stronger

    And the great, great, great Menorah

    Will always shine, always shine

    Play My Music

    Sit down by the window

    Set my gelt up in a row

    Wanna spin until my dreidel hits the ground

    Now we celebrate each year

    Some will lose and others cheer

    But nothing in the world can bring me down

    Top-Spinning, Gelt-Winning,

    Heart-breaking, there's no faking

    What you feel, when you’re right at home, yeah!

    Dreidel’s in my soul

    I can play it every day, for all 8 nights

    It’s the one thing on my mind

    Dreidel takes control

    Watch it spin and roll

    I just wanna spin my dreidel

    All night long

    Sucker

    We fry together

    Wearing our Chanukah sweaters, you and me

    It’s winter weather, yet

    I′m feeling warm in December with this gas heat

    I’ve been staying up late at night and cookin' a nice surprise

    The holiday’s best delight, can’t get enough

    Got the applesauce that I crave, the sour cream that I save,

    And baby, you know it’s obvious

    Got a latke for you

    Say the word I’ll make another one kindly

    Got a latke for you, yeah

    If you’re hungry now, you know where to find me

    Got a latke for all of my family and friends

    And I got one for you, and you

    And we’re making the holiday mood with the typical foods

    It’s true, Got a latke for you

    Burning Up

    So hot, rise fast

    Please hold myself back

    High heat

    Red flames

    All by themselves — gotta watch them blaze!

    We’re lighting up the Menorah

    And I’m tryna see the flames climb higher

    Oh baby we made the miracle brighter

    Cause it’s burnin’ up, burnin’ up

    On Chanukah

    We’re lighting up the Menorah

    And I’m tryna see the flames climb higher

    Baby we made the miracle brighter

    Cause it’s burnin’ up, burnin’ up

    On Chanukah

    Cause it’s burnin’ up, burnin’ up

    I still get festive!

    Cause it’s burnin’ up, burnin’ up

    On Chanukah
