Hanukah in Santa Monica

by Tom Lehrer (1990)

I'm spending Hanukah in Santa Monica,
Wearing sandals, lighting candles by the sea.
I spent Shavu'ot in East Saint 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 till Purim.
Rosh Hashana I spend in Arizona.
And Yom Kippur way down in Mississipper.

But in December there's just one place for me.
Amid the California flora I'll be lighting my menorah.
Like a baby in its cradle I'll be playing with my dreidel,
Spending Hanukah, in Santa Monica, by the Sea!
