I’m a long haul trucker
Traveling ‘cross the south
Spending my Hannukah
At the Waffle House
Each night, after sundown
I find myself stopping
And each night on my hash browns
I get one more topping

The Shammes is my scattered
The first night they get smothered
The second night they’re covered
The third night they get chunked
The fourth night they get diced
The fifth night they get peppered
Sixth night capped
Seventh topped
Eighth night they get country

Out in the parking lot
I always dance the Hora
The toppings on my hash browns
That’s my Hannukah Menorah
From Shreveport to St. Louis
Nashville, New Orleans
El Paso to Las Cruces
I got Dreidels in my dreams
The name of Judah Maccabee
Is carved into my belt
I stay awake with coffee
And chocolate Hannukah Gelt

The Shammes is my scattered
The first night they get smothered
The second night they’re covered
The third night they get chunked
The fourth night they get diced
The fifth night they get peppered
Sixth night capped
Seventh topped
Eighth night they get country

Sixth night capped
Seventh topped
Eighth night they get country
