Doo wah shoo bop
Hey now shalom

My friend was dancing through the rain
Like every cloud had missed her name
I said What keeps your spirits bright
She laughed My mama raised me right

Mama raised her right

Put a little sunshine in somebody's day
A little sunshine
Give a helping hand along the way
Along the way
Keep a little courage when the cold winds blow
And greet the world with aloha or shalom

Aloha
Shalom
Pass it on wherever you go

Now when a stranger looks my way
I've got a little more to say
A simple word an open door
Can give us something worth smiling for

Put a little sunshine in somebody's day
A little sunshine
Give a helping hand along the way
Along the way
Keep a little courage when the cold winds blow
And greet the world with aloha or shalom

Aloha
Shalom
That's the sweetest song I know

(Hey!)
(Are you ready?)
(Let us spin!)
Oh look at me a happy little spinning top
(Hey!)
I dance around so quickly and I never stop
I am a wooden dreidel brand new through and through
Just spin me all around I'll give a twist for you
(Go!)
(Spin!) Dreidel dreidel dreidel love to whirl and spin
(Whirl!)
The house is bright and glowing let the fun begin
And every night is brighter a warm and cheerful glow
For everyone who watches my letters as I go
(Yeah!)
Oh dreidel dreidel dreidel house is spinning round
(Ho!)
We're following your footsteps dancing on the ground
Bring joy to all the children sliding on the floor
And like the Earth be spinning forever more and more
(Spin!) Dreidel dreidel dreidel love to whirl and spin
(Whirl!)
The house is bright and glowing let the fun begin
And every night is brighter a warm and cheerful glow
For everyone who watches my letters as I go
(Clap your hands!)
Nun! Gimmel! Hey and Shin!
(Spin it!)
Watch it turn around and see who's gonna win

Let us all be dancing deep into the night

And every night is brighter a warm and cheerful glow
For everyone who watches my letters as I go

Hanukkah oh Hanukkah a week full of cheer
Snowy winds are singing the winter is here
In our home warm light and the dreidel will spin
And in the kitchen mama makes latkes again

The candles are shining
Like stars in the sky up above
And maybe from heaven will come down a wonder
The greatest of wonders is love

Hanukkah oh Hanukkah at home all together
Only joyful voices and good news forever
Every single night from now till the end
New and glowing lights in the lamp will ascend

The candles are shining
Like stars in the sky up above
And maybe from heaven will come down a wonder
The greatest of wonders is love

Hanukkah oh Hanukkah the menorah's glowing
On the frosty windows bright patterns are showing
Silver moonlight runs and it touches my hand
On the palm of heaven a coin seems to land

The candles are shining
Like stars in the sky up above
And maybe from heaven will come down a wonder
The greatest of wonders is love

Russian lyrics by Olga Anikina. English adaptation, original music and arrangement by Walter J. Kin. Performed by Riglis Band.

Mmm hey girl you shine (Sha-ba-da-ba-doo)
With a smile that lights the whole room
Hey girl you know you're strong
A true neshama you've got it going on

Stand tall walk proud (Walk on walk on)
Like a mensch say it real loud (Real loud)
Hey girl stay true keep it kosher and clear
With your chutzpah you've got nothing to fear

Keep on hold tight
You're a shining star in your own spotlight
Hey girl you're brave you're real
Don't hide away all the great things you feel
Oh keep on hold tight
You're a star in your own spotlight hey girl

Dream big aim high (High in the sky)
Spread your wings 'cause you were made to fly (Sheyne maideleh)
Hey girl you're brave you're real
Don't you hide away the things you feel (Oh no don't hide away)

Keep on hold tight
You're a star in your own spotlight
Hey girl you're brave you're real
Don't hide away the things you feel
Oh keep on hold tight
Am Yisrael Chai you're a star in your spotlight

Yeah you're a star baby

Apple in honey so golden and sweet
Come to the table we all take a seat
Round is the halla a circle of bread
Shana tova a year that's ahead

Kiss for your mama a hug for your dad
Dip the red apple the year will be glad
Blow little shofar so high and so true
A sweet happy year for me and for you

Shana tova
A sweet new year
Shana tova
The honey is here
Shana tova u-metuka

The shofar talks from far away
We start again this holiday
Count to ten and start it new
I will be kind and hope will you

Shana tova
A sweet new year
Shana tova
The honey is here
Shana tova u-metuka

Shana tova u-metuka
Shana tova u-metuka
