(When Is) Hanukkah This Year?

Hey Chris
Hey Rick
How's it been going man, what've you been up to?
Oh I just got all my Christmas shopping done
I'm so glad that I'm done with that
Oh man I bet
Yeah, it's really good to have it just, you know
You know it's the 25th every year so no surprises
Yeah, hey, that's true
By the way, when is Hanukkah this year?
You know that's a really good question
I just don't know what to say
Really?
Well you know it changes year to year
I-I-I wish I had an answer, I don't even know this year
It drives me crazy
Crazy

My Gentile friends all ask my
How it changes year to year
I never know how to answer them
When latke time is here

I guess when every house but mine
Is lit up in Christmas cheer
When oh when is Hanukkah this year?

The candle aisle in every stone
Has been wiped completely clear
We'll drink the Manischewitz 'til it's coming out your ear
The poison in the golden coins
Is every Jewish mother's fear
When oh when is Hanukkah this year?

We'll light the menorah
And read from the Torah
Hanukkah's always creeping up on me
Grandma says I'm too skinny
She says eat some more kugel
Hanukkah's creeping up on me
Eight days of presents just can't be beat

Oh, when oh when is Hanukkah this year?
(When oh when is Hanukkah this year?)
When oh when is Hanukkah this year?
(When oh when is Hanukkah this year?)

When will the dreidel spin again?
When you find out will you tell your friends?
When oh when is Hanukkah this year?
