Twas the night before Chanukah, boichiks and madels Not a sound could be heard, not even the dredels. The menorah was set by the chimney alight In the kitchen, the Bubbie was hopping a bite Salami, Pastrami, a glaisele tay And zoyere pickels mit bagels--Oy Vey! Gezint and geschmock the kinderlach felt While dreaming of taiglach and Chanukah gelt. The alarm clock was sitting, a klopin' and tickin' And bubbie was carving a shtickele chicken. A tummel arose, like the wildest k'duchas Santa had fallen right on his tuchas! I put on my slippers, ains, tzvay, drei While Bubbie was eating herring on rye. I grabbed for my bathrobe and buttoned my gottkes And Bubbie was just devouring the latkes. To the window I ran, and to my surprise A little red yarmulka greeted my eyes. When he got to the door and saw the menorah "Yiddishe kinder," he cried, "Kenohorah!" "I thought I was in a Goyishe hoise! As long as I'm here, I'll leave a few toys." "Come into the kitchen, I'll get you a dish Mit a gupel, a leffel, and a shtickele fish." With smacks of delight he started his fressen Chopped liver, knaidlach, and kreplach gegessen. Along with his meal he had a few schnapps When it came to eating, this boy sure was tops. He asked for some knishes with pepper and salt But they were so hot ye yelled out "Gevalt!" He loosened his hoysen and ran from the tish, "Your koshereh meals are simply delish!" As he went through the door he said "see y'all later I'll be back next Pesach in time for the seder!" So, hutzmir and zeitzmir and "Bleibtz mir gezint" He called out cheerily into the wind. More rapid than eagles, his prancers they came As he whistled and shouted and called them by name. "Come Izzie, now Moishe, now Yossel and Sammy! On Oyving, and Maxie, and Hymie, and Manny!" He gave a geshrai as he drove out of sight, "A gut yontiff to all, and to all a good night!"
