One day of oil burned much more than that And now we celebrate by eating fat But we’re here to tell you that Our holiday is so much more than spinning plastic tops My bubbe she told me it’s not bout the foods you fry Faith, family, freedom we celebrate for eight nights You know that latkes and dreidels and presents are all good fun But if that’s all you do then your holiday’s just begun Because you know we’re all about that neis bout that neis no oil We’re all about that neis bout that neis no oil We’re all about that neis bout that neis no oil We’re all about that neis bout that neis
