G Bm Em7
I'm spending Hanukkah, in Santa Monica,
G Abdim D9
Wearing sandals lighting candles by the sea.
Am7 D7
I spent Shavuos, in East St. Louis,
Am7 D7 Daug G
A charming spot but clearly not the spot for me.
[Bridge]
Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7
Those eastern winters, I can't endure 'em,
C A7
So every year I pack my gear
D7
And come out here to Purim.
[Verse 2]
G E7
Rosh Hashona, I spend in Arizona,
A D7
And Yom Kippa, way down in Mississippa.
G E7
But in December, there's just one place for me.
Am
'Mid the California flora,
E7
I'll be lighting my menorah.
Am
Like a baby in his cradle
Bbdim
Find me playing with a dreidl.
G E7
