Candlelight Lyrics - Singles - Maccabeats

I'll tell a tale, tale, tale, tale, yeah 

Of Maccabees in Israel-ael-ael-ael, yeah 

When the Greeks tried to assail-sail-sail-sail, yeah 

But it was all to no avail-vail-vail, vail, yeah, yeah 

The war went on and on and on 

Until the mighty Greeks were gone 

Yeah, I flip my latkes in the air sometimes 

Sayin' hey-o, spin the dreidel 

Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights 

Singin', hey-o, light the candle 

We say, "Al hanissim", oh yeah, for all eight nights 

Then we play dreidel by the candlelight 

And I told you once, now I told you twice 

'Bout the miracle of the candlelight 

They took the field, field, field, field 

Their rivals thought are they for real, real, real, real? 

Those Maccabees, they'd never yield, yield, yield, yield 

They charged ahead with sword and shield, shield, shield, shield, yeah, yeah 

The war went on and on and on 

Until the mighty Greeks were gone 

Yeah, I flip my latkes in the air sometimes 

Sayin' hey-o, spin the dreidel 

Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights 

Singin', hey-o, light the candle 

We say, "Maoz tzur", oh yeah, for all eight nights 

Then we play dreidel by the candlelight 

And I told you once, now I told you twice 

'Bout the miracle of the candlelight 

And the great menorah 

For eight days, it kept on burning 

What a celebration 

A great return to Torah learning 

'Cause I can feel it 

And I 

Nes gadol, nes gadol 

Nes gadol hayah sham 

Nes gadol hayah sham 

Nes gadol hayah sham 

I flip my latkes in the air sometimes 

Sayin' hey-o, spin the dreidel 

Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights 

Singin', hey-o, light the candle 

We say, "Maoz tzur", oh yeah, for all eight nights 

Then we play dreidel by the candlelight 

And I told you once, now I told you twice 

'Bout the miracle of the candlelight
