``Let's be Happy''
by Malvine P. Hoenig
[Sung to the tune of Maos Zur (Rock of Ages)]
Let's be happy, let us cheer,
Hanukkah again is here.
All the lights are shining bright,
Isn't it a lovely sight?
You know these lights remind us
Of the time long, long ago,
When God caused one,
tiny light,
for eight long days to shine so bright
"This song, sung to the tune of Maos Zur (Rock of Ages), was written by Malvine P. Hoenig in 1955 for her three children.
She wanted words that would be easier to understand than the Hebrew or the literal English translation. It has become a tradition in her family and in other families who have heard it.
It has never been published. Mimi, as she is known, is 77 years old now and is enthusiastic about making her Children's Hanukkah Candle Lighting Song available over the World Wide Web."
