Chappy Chanukah!

Edgy MD Dec 23 2019 08:05 PM

Blessings to you who celebrate the Festival of Lights, as well as you who just need some light in your darknesss. Like my buddy Gene Simmons always says, "Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu, melekh ha'olam, she'asa nisim la'avoteinu ba'yamim ha'heim ba'z'man ha'ze," or something. http://media4.giphy.com/media/l0MYuNlIG7lKQBSW4/giphy.gif>

Okay, this is a song that — there's a lot of Christmas songs out there and — not too many Hannukah songs. So, uhh … I wrote a song for all those nice little Jewish kids who don't get to hear any Hannukah songs. Here we go! Put on your yarmulke Here comes Hanukkah It's bigger than Mo Vaughnukkah To celebrate Hanukkah Hanukkah is The Festival of Lights Instead of one day of presents We have eight crazy nights! When you feel like the only Met fan in town Without a Christmas tree Here's a list of Mets who are Jewish Like Sandy Koufax be Announcer Gary Cohen Likes to light the Menorah Like Howie Rose and Josh Lewin Who understand the Torah And original pre-game announcer The famous Howard Cosell Folks forget he was with the Mets And I guess it's just as well 　Ty Kelly shouts "Right Onnikah!" 　So damn it, Happy Hannukah! 　As you ride to Babylonnukah!! 　Have a very Metly Hannukah!! Art Shamsky went to Hebrew school He's a well loved 'sixty-niner. Josh Satin wasn't half as good But there are no eyebrows finer. Bob Melvin was a scout for us And he got an interview If he'd just lit up the room for us He'd be the first Mets' managing Jew! 　So Happy Happy Hannukah! 　Put on some Harry Connickah! 　Jewish players turn me onnukah! 　Except for Ryan Braunukkah! I didn't know all the Jewish Mets So I went to the library In '62 Ginsberg caught for us And in '63, Norm Sherry David Newhan said he'd never play On Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashannah Shawn Green said he wouldn't sit But I was hoping that he'd wanna 　　SO MANY JEWS! 　　HAVE BEEN DRAFTED BY THE METS!　 　　BUT THEY PASSED ON ALEX BREGMAN!! 　　AND I BET THEY HAVE REGRETS!!! 　In Peru or Saskatchewannukah 　Everyone loves Hannukah! 　So forget ‘bout Fred Wilponnukah 　We're celebrating Hanukkah Some folks, they don't like converts They think they're all fanatics But I bet they wouldn't feel that way If they met Elliott Maddux Scott Schoeneweis spoke Hebrew When he pitched to Brian Schneider And pitching coach Dan Warthan Had no foreskin on his slider 　So if your UCL is gonnukah 　Don't worry man, it's Hannukah! 　Go in for Tommy Johnnukah 　Then enjoy yourself some Hannukah! David Cone wasn't Jewish But the synagogues would hire him And the Met front office has Ruben Amaro ‘Til Jeff decides to fire him Ron Blomberg was the DH When the Yankees played at Shea Ike Davis made all Jews feel proud ‘Til that STUPID POPUP PLAY! 　So jump into the saunnukah 　As you enjoy your Hannukah! 　And please don't eat that prawnikah 　No shellfish man, it's Hannukah! 　AND DON'T BE SO WITHDRAWNNUKAH! 　ENJOY YOUR SZECHUANUKKAH! 　LAUGH AT FARRAKHANNUKAH! 　AND HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY HANNUKAH!!!

The only pity here is that there is no Met from Sewanhaka High School* (Garden City Long Island) as that would have fit perfectly into the rhyming scheme. Love the line about skipping the prawnikah though * a few pretty good athletes, even if no Mets: Pete Richert (MLB), Vinny Testasverde, Al Oerter (4-time Gold medalist - discus), and even sports reporter Sal Paolantonio and Telly Savalas
