Tom Lehrer - Hanukkah in Santa Monica lyrics

[Verse] I'm spending Hanukkah in Santa Monica Wearing sandals Lighting candles by the sea I spent Shavuos in East St. Louis A charming spot But clearly not the spot for me Those eastern winters, I can't endure 'em So every year I pack my gear And come out here to Purim Rosh Hashana, I spend in Arizona And Yom Kippur, way down in Mississippa But in December There's just one place for me [Tag 1] Amid the California flora I'll be lighting my menorah Like a baby in his cradle I'll be playing with a dreidl Spending Hanukkah In Santa Monica by the sea! [Verse] [Tag 2] Amid the California flora I'll be lighting my menorah Like a baby in his cradle I'll be playing with a dreidl Here's to Judus Maccabeus Boy, if he could only see us Spending Hanukkah In Santa Monica by the sea!
