Yellow as wings on a butterfly,

Green as a grasshopper, pink as a bow,

Orange as apricots, white as snow.

Pick the candles you like the best

To light tonight. Well save the rest.

The Ninth Candl>The shammes candle stands up straight,

A servant and quite proud of it.

He always is the first one lit

And then he lights the other eight.

Th> First Candl>Outside theres snowy blow-y weather,

But here at home were snug together

Daddy, Baby, Grandpa, Brother,

Sister holding hands with MotherAll watching on this special night

As Grandma sets one flame alight.

In your feet, feet, feet,Give a little shimmy,

Prance a little prance,

Whirl around and twirl around

And dance, dance, dance.
