Hanukkah In Santa Monica

             G                  Bm        Em7
I'm spending Hanukkah, in Santa Monica,
G                        Abdim           D9
Wearing sandals lighting candles by the sea.
Am7                          D7
I spent Shavuos, in East St. Louis,
Am7                         D7       Daug    G
A charming spot but clearly not the spot    for me.

[Bridge]
      Dm7     G7       Dm7     G7
Those eastern winters, I can't endure 'em,
   C            A7
So every year I pack my gear
     D7
And come out here to Purim.

[Verse 2]
        G                    E7
Rosh Hashona, I spend in Arizona,
        A                          D7
And Yom Kippa, way down in Mississippa.
       G                                   E7
But in December, there's just one place for me.
          Am
'Mid the California flora,
        E7
I'll be lighting my menorah.
      Am
Like a baby in his cradle
        Bbdim
Find me playing with a dreidl.
          G                       E7

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