The Maccabee Song
(to the tune of Mickey Mouse Club)
By Mark Frydenberg

Who's the leader of the Jews,
Brave Judah Maccabee.
M A C - C A B - E E Maccabee.
Maccabee, Maccabee,
Menorahs shine as far as I can see
We celebrate the miracle,
Oh Lord, Our thanks to Thee
M A C - C A B- E E Maccabee.

Eight Days of Fire
(To the tune of Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire")
By Josh Males

They beat the Greeks
        and they chased them away.
Their flask of oil
        would burn just one day.
They lit the wick -
Oh, what a trick!
Ribono Shel Olam, Eight days of Fire!

They cleaned the temple
        an' they made it look nice.
Brought a couple cows
        for a sacrifice.
Those Maccabees -
Threw out the sleaze.
Ribono Shel Olam, Eight days of Fire!

CHORUS
Light those candles, oooh...
        from left to right
Place that Menorah
        over by the window in plain sight
Those lights
So bright
Add another candle every night,night,night,night

We open up the presents
        as we sing "Maoz Tzur".
You hope it ain't clothes
        but you can never be sure.
Instead of "Gelt",
You got a belt!
Ribono Shel Olam, Eight days of Fire!

CHORUS

We spin the "dreidel"
        an' we don't go to school.
We chant the "Hallel"
        every morning in "Shul".
Dressed in "Gatkes",
We scarf down "latkes"
Ribono Shel Olam, Eight days of Fire!
