Hayo, Haya — Peter, Paul & Mary

Hayo, haya, melech rasha, melech rasha. Charbo chada, umlutasha, umlutasha Mihu? antiochus, antiochus.

Let us remember reign of terror, reign of terror King who murdered pain forever, pain forever Who then? antiochus, antiochus Antiochus, antiochus

The blood he spilled, jerusalem, jerusalem So many killed, gone all of them, gone all of them Who then? antiochus, antiochus

Our hearts he broke, he burned the torah, burned the torah Ash and smoke, the crushed menorah, crushed menorah Who then? antiochus, antiochus

Arise our hero, judah save us, judah save us Prize so dear, the vict'ry gave us, freedom gave us Who then? macabeus, macabeus

Oh sing our songs and praise the torah, praise the torah Right the wrongs and light menorah, light menorah When then? chanukah, chanukah
