  • My name is King Cyrus, my order I give,
    You Jews can go back to your home
    To build your holy temple again
    In the land of Palestine.
    We've sung and danced o'er the hot rocky roads
    Back to Eretz Yisroel's land
    We worked with plow and rake and hoe
    And we blessed the works of our hands
    My name is Ezra the Teacher man
    I brought my scroll book along
    I brought my flock to Yisroel
    From that land called Babylon
    I'll read you my Talmud Torah book
    And the prophet's dreams to you
    And you'll be fertile and multiply
    If you keep your Torah true
    My name is Alexander the Great
    More than half of this wide world is mine
    Come stand around, my servants all
    I'm wrapped on my bed here to die
    As the King of Syria and Palestine
    Antiochus the Fourth, you'll stand
    To kill the Jews if they refuse
    To worship our idols and gods
    My name is Hannah, my first born son
    Now stands before this king
    Guilty of keeping the Sabbath laws
    By the soldiers I see him slain
    It's one by one my seven sons
    In front of my eyes cut down
    For keeping to the Torah laws
    I pay with my warm blood now
    My name is Mattathias, I've got five sons
    In Modin City we dwell
    They tried to make me bow down to their gods
    Two of the King's flunkeys I killed
    A hundred or more who'll fight to be Jews
    Did come to these hills with me
    On my death bed your leader I'll name
    ‘Tis Judah, the Macabee
    My name is Judah, the Macabee
    By the name of the hammer I'm called
    We'll pray to God before every fight
    Till all of our enemies fall
    Appolonius, the Governor, this day I killed
    And his army we did bust
    Some few of his soldiers run away in the wind
    But most we've dropped dead in the dust
    Syron is my name, from Syria came
    To destroy that fool Macabee
    My army was great, his army was small
    But he somehow did win over me
    To deliver the many to the hands of his few
    For God this is no trick at all
    In a few short hours my army did break
    And we flooded this valley with blood
    My name is Lysias, I dreamed up a plan
    To burn the Jews tents as they slept
    When I got there, their tents were all bare
    And the Macabee's army had left
    He stormed my own camp as my soldiers did sleep
    And he killed several thousand in fear
    My elephants, my horsemen, my footsoldiers, all
    Judah hammered them down from the rear
    My name is Jerusalem where Judah came back
    To build up my Temple once more
    To cut down the ****s and thorny brush
    That grows ‘round my windows and doors
    Whole stones, whole stones, we'll build and pray
    To God as a wholehearted Jew
    God's love the hateful many did place
    In the hands of a God loving few
    We found in our temple a little oil jug
    Just enough for the lamps for one night
    That one little jug burned Eight whole days
    And it kept our new temple in light
    Eight candles we'll burn and a Ninth one too
    Every New Year that comes and goes
    We'll think of the many in the hands of the few
    And thank God we are seeds of the Jews
  • My name is King Cyrus, my order I give,
    You Jews can go back to your home
