Im Spending Hanukkah in Santa Monica
Tom Lehrer
[Verse]
I'm spending Hanukkah in Santa Monica
Wearing sandals
Lighting candles by the sea
I spent Shavuos in East St. Louis
A charming spot
But clearly not the spot for me
Those eastern winters, I can't endure 'em
So every year I pack my gear
And come out here to Purim
Rosh Hashana, I spend in Arizona
And Yom Kippur, way down in Mississippa
But in December
There's just one place for me

[Tag 1]
Amid the California flora
I'll be lighting my menorah
Like a baby in his cradle
I'll be playing with a dreidl
Spending Hanukkah
In Santa Monica by the sea!
[Verse]

[Tag 2]
Amid the California flora
I'll be lighting my menorah
Like a baby in his cradle
I'll be playing with a dreidl
Here’s to Judus Maccabeus
Boy, if he could only see us
Spending Hanukkah
In Santa Monica by the sea!
