Here's an easily learnt arrangement of a traditional Chanukah song. Sopranos get the catchy tune, accompanied homophonically by the other parts. Apologies to the basses, who pedal the same note nearly throughout (but to good effect)! Feel free to add tambourine, dumbek or other small drum, zills, and/or guitar.

TranslationMy mother gave me latkes, warm and sweet
You all know why: because it’s ChanukahMy father lit the candles for me, and the shamash* was like a torch
My uncle gave me a present – one worn penny.
* shamash: the ‘servant candle’ used to light the first (or sometimes all) of the Chanukah candles
