MACCABEATS - CANDLELIGHT LYRICS

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

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,

The war went on and on and on 
Until the mighty Greeks were gone

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

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 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 candleligh
