Cut Them Down!

lyrics by Dovid Kerner

melody: Pick a Bale of Cotton / Mishe'nichnas Adar

 

When sundown's late

Don't hesitate

To shorten Shabbos candles

Make sure they're out

Without a doubt

Before you go to bed.

 

(You've got to) cut'em down

Stick around

Don’t leave them unattended

When kids do play

Keep them away

Keep Shabbos safe at home!

Oh, oh, oh ora v'simcha

Oh, oh, oh Shabbat shalom!

On Chanuka

Your menorah

Is lighting up the darkness

Make sure it's out

Without a doubt

Before you go to bed.

Holy lights

Burning bright

Don't leave them unattended

Make sure they're out

Without a doubt

Before you're out the door.

Oh, oh, oh, Chanuka sameach

Oh, oh a joyful Chanuka!

On Chanuka

The halacha

Is thirty minutes burning

From the time the sun goes down

Then blow those candles out.

Except when it's Friday night you're lighting

Then dispense your fuel accordingly!

Oh, oh, oh, Chanuka sameach

Oh, oh a joyful Chanuka!

 

On
