It's Almost Hanukkah Y'all!

Well, just sitting here thinking about some Hanukkah songs for the party next week.  I am usually a font of ideas, but this one is a little tougher.  One idea is; "It's Beginning to look a lot like Hanuakkah", sung to the tune of "It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas".  Well, I have some of the lines, but not the complete tune.  Humor me here:

    It's Beginning to look a lot like Hanukkah!  Everywhere you go.
    There's no tree in the Grand Hotel, no tree in the park, as well.
    No lights, no decorations and no snow!

    It's Beginning to look a lot like Hanukkah!  Eight days of toys in store.
    Frying latkes on the stove, sour cream doled out in droves,
    And applesauce and ketchup by the score.

That's about as far as I got on this one.  However, my faithful readers should know that I have not stopped trying on others.  Perhaps one will come to me.  How about a classic Christmas song, redone for Hanukkah?  Here is a classic, done to the tune, "I'll Be Home for Christmas".

     I'll be home for Hanukkah.  You can count on me.
     There'll be no snow, no mistletoe, eight presents, but no tree.
     The menorah lights will find me, where the Hanukkah light beams.
     I'll be home for Hanukkah and then we both can dream.

Well, that is about it for now.  Have to get some more ideas.  Rabbi, feel free to take these songs, expand on them, and perhaps, let the Kidz Choir have a go at them!
