Jon: Can I [G]interest you [Fdim] in [Am]Hannukah?[D7]
Maybe [G]something in a [Fdim]Festival of [C]Lights [D7]
It's a [C]sensible [D7]alternative to [G]Christmas [E7]
And it [Am]lasts for seven - for you - eight [D7]nights.
n/[C]
Stephen: Hanukkah huh? I've never really thought about it.
n/[C]
Jon: Well, you could do worse.
Stephen: Is it [G]merry? [Fdim]
Jon: It's [Am]kind of merry [D7]
Stephen: Is it [G]cheery? [Fdim]
Jon: It's [C]got some [D7]cheer
Stephen: Is it [C]jolly?
Jon: Look, I [D7]wouldn't know from [G]jolly. [E7]
But it's [C]not my least un[D7]favourite time of[G] year.[G7]
Stephen: When's it [C]start?
Jon: The [D7]25th
Stephen: Of [G]December?
Jon: [E7]Kislev
Stephen: When is [C]when exactly? [D7]
Jon: I will [G]check [E7]
Stephen: Are there [C]presents?
Jon: Yes, ind[D7]eed 8 days of [G]presents [E7]
Which means one [C]nice one, then a week of [D7]dreck.
Stephen: Does [C]Hanukkah com[G]memorate [Am]events profound and [G]holy? A [C]king who came
to [G]save the world?
Jon: No, [Am]oil that burned quite [D7]slowly
n/[C]
Stephen: Well, it sounds fantastic!
n/[C] [G]
Jon: There's more! We have latkes
Stephen: What are [Fdim]they?
Jon: Potato [Am]pancakes. [D7] We have [G]dreidels
Stephen: What are [Fdim]they?
Jon: Wooden [Am]tops. [D7] We have [C]candles
Stephen: What are [D7]they?
Jon: THEY ARE [G]CANDLES![E7] And when we [C]light them, oh the [D7]fun it never [G]stops.
n/[C]
What do you say, Stephen, do you want to give Hanukkah a try?
Stephen: I'm [C]trying see me [G]as a Jew, I'm [Am]trying even [G]harder
But [C]I believe in [G]Jesus Christ, so [Am]it's a real non-[D7]starter
Jon: I can't [G]interest you[Fdim] in [Am]Hanukkah?[D7] Just a [G]little bit?[Fdim]
Stephen: No thanks I'll [Am]pass.[D7] I'll keep [C]Jesus, you [D7]keep your potato
[G]pancakes.[E7] But I [Am]hope that you en[Gmaj7]joy 'em on [Am]behalf of all of the [G]goyim.
Jon: Be [Am]sure to tell the [Gmaj7]Pontiff, my [Am]people say Good [G]Yontif.
Stephen: [Am]That's exactly what I'll [E7]do
n/c [C] [D7]
Both: Happy holidays, you
Jon/Stephen: [G]Too!/Jew!
Jon: Too?
