8 Days of Hannukah Lyrics by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

It’s A Holiday Soul Party

2015

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Days of love, days of
Eight days of Hanukkah
Every one of them glows with love
Eight days of Hanukkah
Every one of them glows with love
Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two
Day one
Time to light a candle
For those maccabees whose oil did burn and burn
Day two
Time to spin the dreidel
And hope that gimel shows up on my turn
Day three
Fry a bunch of Latkes
With applesauce, sour cream, and all
Day four
We're cooking up the brisket
The kosher butcher sold my Uncle Saul
Day five
I like it more than PESACH
Let's leave the manischewitz on the shelf
Day six
Gifts for the children
Five-dollar checks from great grandma Sel
Day seven
Light a whole bunch of candles
Gotta keep that SHAMAS going right to left
All the way until
Day eight
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Days of love (Woo), days of
Eight days of Hanukkah (Eight days Hanukkah)
Every one of them glows with love (Glows with love)
Eight days of Hanukkah (Eight days of Hanukkah)
Every one of them glows with love (Love)
[Instrumental Break]
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Uh-huh
Eight days (Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel)
Eight days (I made it out of clay)
Eight days (And when it's dry and ready, yeah)
Eight days (Oh, dreidel I will play)
Eight days (Talking about that menorah)
Eight days (Yay-yay-yay-yay-yay, hey)
Eight days, eight days
Eight days, eight days
Eight days, eight days
Eight days, eight days
