LYRICS:

Chanukah is late
I can’t spell it’s name
That’s what the goyim say…
That’s what the goyim say…

Take off for all eight days
My boss wants me to stay
But there’s nothing he can say
Nothing he can say

But I keep Shmoozing
This might sound confusing
It’s like I got this Jew thing
In my mind saying ‘it’s almost Friday night’

And the Goyim gonna stay stay stay stay
The Jews are gonna pray pray pray pray
I’m just gonna take take take take
I’m taking off
Taking off

I’m just on a break break break break
They might try to fake fake fake fake
I’m just gonna take take take take
I’m taking off
Taking off

I’m taking off x8

[Yiddish Rap with free translation:]
Nee Nee Nee (Yo Yo Yo)
Vus Geit Furdu (Sup, fool?)
Ven ayene is bam dem rebbe’s tish… (While you hang with the Rabbi)
Driestich arim (You fool around)
Tei gornisht mit dein leben… (and waste time)
Mit dein trayfe iPhone (with your treif [non-kosher] iPhone)

Myn Rebbetzin vill mich nisht in da hose (My BAE wants me out!)
Ich hub farloyin mein job (I lost my job)
Ich hut geshvindled mein boss (Because I fooled my boss)
Ich hub oyf gemached a yom tov far dreitzig teg (I invented a 30-day Jewish holiday)
Yetz ich darf arbeten (And now I gotta work)
Bei B & H (at B&H Photo Video Superstore)

Cuz my bubby’s gonna bake bake bake bake
Kiddush gonna make make make make
I’m just gonna take take take take
I’m taking off
taking off

Dreidels gonna drei drei drei drei
Yankel’s gonna pay pay pay pay
I’m just gonna take take take take
I’m taking off
taking off

I’m taking off – x16
