Hanukkah in Santa Monica (I’m Spending)

And Yom Kippur way down in Mississippi

 But in December, there's just one place for me

 Amid the California flora, I'll be lighting my menorah

 Like a baby in his cradle, I'll be playing with my dreidel

 Spending Hanukkah in Santa Monica by the sea

 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 them

 So every year I pack my gear and come out here

 Till Purim, Rosh Hashanah, I spend in Arizona

 And Yom Kippur way down in Mississippi

 But in December, there's just one place for me

 Amid the California flora, I'll be lighting my menorah

 Like a baby in his cradle, I'll be playing with my dreidel

 Here's to Judas Maccabeus, boy if he could only see us

 Spending Hanukkah in Santa Monica by the sea
