Lyrics
Let's fly to a little grass hut
and have Hanukkah in Hawaii
Forget your mother's latkes,
Why not plant your little tukus in the sand?
The sun will be our candle
Our holiday, Festival of Lights
Perhaps we'll have a miracle
Can one tube of sunscreen last 8 days and nights?
We'll surf and we'll hula around
and have Hanukkah in Hawaii
Just think the Maccabbees
were likely swayin' with the tall palm trees
We can have tradition ,make a driedel lei
Dance the hora read the Torah
While we wave to Bora Bora
So let's fly to a little grass hut
and have Hanukkah in Hawaii
The sun will be our candle
Our holiday, Festival of Lights
And it will be a miracle
If we can get together for 8 days and nights
We'll leave coats and mittens and home
and have Hanukkah in Hawaii
Why do we have to frezze
when we can sail in the tropical breeze?
We'll start our own tradition on Oahu Isle
Forget about our tsaurus
And Zayde, Mosche, and Morris
So let's fly to a little grass hut
and have Hanukkah in Hawaii
