Bonnes fêtes de Hanoukka à nos lecteurs juifs.

Clap your hands! Happy Hanuka!
Clap clap hands! My little shtroodler!
On your toes! Happy Hanuka!
And around and around you go!

Cette chanson aussi inattendue que délicieuse est le fruit de la profonde amitié qui liait Woody Guthrie, le célèbre chanteur et guitariste folk d'Oklahoma (le "dust bowl balladeer"), et sa belle-mère, la poète yiddish Aliza Greenblatt.

Tippy tap toe! Happy Hanukah!
?Round you go! My little latke!
On your toes! Happy Hanuka!
And around and around you go!


Clap your hands! Happy Hanuka!
Clap clap hands! My little shtroodler!
On your toes! Happy Hanuka!
And around and around you go!

Jump real high! Happy Hanuka!
Jump jump high! My little fruitycake!
On your toes! Happy Hanuka!
And around and around you go!

Run real fast! Happy Hanuka!
Runny run run! My little sugar pie!
On your toes! Happy Hanuka!
And around and around you go!

Hop hop hop! Happy Hanuka!
Hoppity hop! My little rabbit!
On your toes! Happy Hanuka!
And around and around you go!

Skippy skip skip! Happy Hanuka!
Skippity skip! My little honeybun!
On your toes! Happy Hanuka!
And around and around you go!
