Lyrics
I'm part Christian and part Jewish
And of African descent.
And when it comes to holidays
That is truly excellent.
Cause on the first day of Chanukkah
My parents sing to me
This new all-purpose carol that's for trimming
My special kind of tree.
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukkah.
Kwanzaa time is here.
It's that fa-la-la deidl-dum
Jambo-jambo time of year.
Gloria Boruch a toh,
In excelsis deo, day-o.
Daylight come,
The drummer boy drum,
The angels fly away, oh.
There are no Christmas-Chanukkah-Kwanzaa rituals per se-oh.
So we take our favorite parts of each and mix them own way-oh.
We light the menorah, We light the kinara,
We light the Christmas tree.
We're making the knishes and cornbreaded dishes,
The turkey is done to a tee.
We're dancing the hora and playing the kora
And caroling off key.
Than all three ships come sailing in
With presents for you and me.
Oh, Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukkah.
Kwanzaa time is here.
It's that fa-la-la daidl-dum
Jambo-jambo time of year.
Gloria Boruch a toh,
In excelsis deo, day-o.
Daylight come,
Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum.
The angels fly away, oh.
Oh, Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukkah.
Kwanzaa time is here.
It's that fa-la-la deidl-dum
Jambo-jambo time of year.
Gloria Boruch a toh,
In excelsis deo, day-o.
The talking drum...
The angels fly away,
Boya boya boya biddy biddy bum,
Amen.
