What’s a Jew to Do on Christmas? Lyrics by Joshua Turchin

2017

[Verse 1]
Snow is falling on the ground
Being swept away by snow shovels that we found
And the holiday that we've waited all year round
Is almost here
(Everything's Christmas!)
But you see I don't know what to do
And I keep waiting 'till the 12 Days of Christmas are through
And Hanukkah's here
(Sometimes it comes before!
Like way before!)
[Chorus]
What's a Jew to do, on Christmas?
Nothing's gonna happen for us today
(Everything's Christmas!)
What's a Jew to do, on Christmas?
We don't usually get presents today
(But sometimes we can!)
We can go to the movies, or eat Chinese food
Spin thе dreidel for chocolate monеy if we're in the mood
(Mm-mm-mm-mm)
We could eat potato latkes with applesauce
Or crash a Christmas party, but feel kind of lost
[Verse 2]
Most of everything is closed
Watch A Christmas Story on TV
Most of everything I see is neglecting me
So suddenly, because I am a Jew
(Everything's Christmas!)
But you see I have no trimmed tree
And Santa's not gonna come visit me
The Christmas lights I see are not for me
We have a menorah
(That's not as pretty!)
[Chorus]
What's a Jew to do, on Christmas?
Nothing's gonna happen for us today, anyway
(Everything's Christmas!)
What's a Jew to do, on Christmas?
We don't usually get presents today
(But sometimes we can!)
We can go to the movies, or eat Chinese food
Spin the dreidel for chocolate money if we're in the mood
(Mm-mm-mm-mm)
We could eat potato latkes with applesauce
Or crash a Christmas party, but feel kind of lost
[Bridge]
Or we can sit and do nothing
We can play in the snow
We can go to a Broadway show
Or drink hot cocoa
We can walk around the block
And look at all the lights
We can sing songs and wish our friends a Merry Christmas tonight
[Chorus]
Oh, what's a Jew to do, on Christmas?
Nothing's gonna happen for us today, anyway
Anyway!
Yeah, what's a Jew to do, on Christmas?
We don't usually get presents today
(And it's okay!)
We can go to the movies, or eat Chinese food
Spin the dreidel for chocolate money if we're in the mood
(Mm-mm-mm-mm)
We could eat potato latkes with applesauce
Or crash a Christmas party, but feel kind of lost
[Outro]
Oh, what's a Jew to do, on Christmas?
Oh I know today's gonna be the best day
Oh I know today's gonna be the best day!
