Hanukkah In The Village

I can see Patricia Field’s out my window
I can see the «Holiday Sale» sign in the night
This is how I know it’s time for the New York holiday
‘Cause everything expensive’s suddenly in sight… could it be right?
Hanukkah in the Village… Hanukkah on the Lower East Side
Hanukkah it’s an image… of menorahs flickering like city lights
Do you remember the time that you got me those Hello Kitty pajamas?
Do you recall the time that I got you the front row tickets to Alanis?
And I wasn’t even jealous when you said that she was hot
‘Cause this is the time of season we take stock of what we’ve got… and we’ve got
Eight days of miracles
Eight days when the oil burns bright
Eight days of miracles… and menorahs
Wandering through Whole Foods down on Houston
Suddenly I’m overwhelmed by the choice
But everyone’s so friendly and so helpful
Wandering the latke aisle I hear a voice… a beautiful noise:
Hanukkah in the Village… Hanukkah on the Lower East Side
Hanukkah it’s an image… of menorahs flickering like city lights, like city lights
Eight days of miracles
Eight days when the oil burns bright
Eight days of miracles… and menorahs
Do you remember the time that I got you those season tickets to The Public
Do you recall the time that I got you the boxed set of Dionne Warwick
And I wasn’t even nervous when you looked me in the eyes
And asked me to spin your dreidel for the rest of our lives…'cause we’ve got
Eight days of miracles
Eight days when the oil burns bright
Eight days of miracles… eight days when the oil burns bright
Hanukkah in the Village
Hanukkah on the Lower East Side
Hanukkah it’s an image… of menorahs flickering like city lights, like city lights
