First night we light the Shammes

Just after the sun goes down

And we light one little candle

Say a prayer and gather round

And the next night there are two

And then three

And then four

Hannukah’s half over

How I wish it lasted more

Fifth night we light the Shammes

Just after the sun goes down

And we light five little candles

Say a prayer and gather round

And the next night there are six

And then seven

And then eight

Soon Hannukah is over

Put some latkes on my plate

(Repeat)

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
