Program Notes

The Hannukah Song

Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah

Come light the menorah

Let’s have a party

We’ll all dance the hora

Gather ’round the table

We’ll give you a treat

Sivivon to play with and latkes to eat

And while we are playing

The candles are burning low

One for each night, they shed a sweet light

to remind us of days long ago

One for each night, they shed a sweet light

to remind us of days long ago.

Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah

A time to remember.

A joyful, jolly holiday

that comes in December

Every day for eight days, dreidels will spin

Crispy little latkes, tasty and thin.

And nightly, so brightly,

the candles of Chanukah glow.

One for each night, they shed a sweet light,

to remind us of days long ago.

One for each night, they shed a sweet light,

to remind us of days long ago.

Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman

Was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman

Is a fairytale, they say

He was made of snow

But the children know

How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in

That old silk hat they found

For when they placed it on his head

He began to dance around

Oh, Frosty, the Snowman

Was alive as he could be

And the children say

He could laugh and play

Just the same as you and me

Frosty, clumsy as he can be

See him lopping along

Off he goes on an icicle spree

With a happy song

Oh, Frosty the Snowman

Knew the sun was hot that day

So he said, "Let's run, and we'll have some fun

Now, before I melt away"

Down to the village

With a broomstick in his hand

Runnin' here and there

All around the square

Sayin', "Catch me if you can"

He led them down the streets of town

Right to the traffic cop

And he only paused a moment

When he heard him holler, "Stop!"

Hmm, Frosty the Snowman

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't you cry

I'll be back again some day"

Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump

Look at Frosty go!

Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump

Over the hills of snow!

A Holly Jolly Christmas

Have a holly jolly Christmas

It's the best time of the year

Now I don't know if there'll be snow

But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas

And when you walk down the street

Say hello to friends you know

And everyone you meet

Oh-ho, the mistletoe

Is hung where you can see

Somebody waits for you

Kiss her once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas

And in case you didn't hear

Oh, by golly

Have a holly jolly Christmas this year

Oh-ho, the mistletoe

Is hung where you can see

Somebody waits for you

Kiss her once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas

And in case you didn't hear

Oh, by golly

Have a holly jolly Christmas this year

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've no place to go

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Man it doesn't show signs of stopping

And I brought me some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you'll really hold me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still goodbying

But as long as you'd love me so

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you really grab me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

Oh, the fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still goodbying

But as long as you'd love me so

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
