Christmas for the Jews

I'm just a Jew boy on Christmas Eve
There's nothing to do but sit and watch the TV
I'll catch a movie or get some Chinese Food
I wish you were with me, I don't mean to be rude
If there's one wish I'd choose
I wish there was Christmas for the Jews

Don't get me started on Hanukkah
It ain't no Christmas that's why they're eight days of
Spinning dradles really ain't much fun
You can't stuff the stocking up with [?]
If there's one wish I'd choose
I wish there was Christmas for the Jews

The Maccabees were freedom fighters
For that I give them lots of 'plause
But you can't party with a Menorah
Of that I'm sure of
I wish there was Christmas for the Jews
Christmas for the Jews

Then one evening
When I was all alone
I lit some candles up in my quiet home
Illuminated with beauty and light
Saw many blessings, brought tears to my eyes
I thought of where my people've been
I wish there was Hanukkah for the Christians
Hanukkah for the Christians
Kwanza for the Hindus
Christmas for the Jews
Christmas for the Jews
