Bubbe's Hannah Cat (Hanukkat)
Music & Lyrics by Veronique Chevalier
Child sings:
Bubbe's angel she can't fly
Her looks would not win any prize
Her favorite kids are me, myself and I
She's Bubbe's Hannah Cat
Child sings:
If you got a pet you're lucky coz
A fuzzy-wuzz with tiny paws
Beats any gift from the in-laws
Like Bubbe's Hannah Cat
(Tiny "meow" sound)
Chorus- Child sings:
This is my favorite time of year
To be with friends and family
With yamikas and lots of cheer
And Hannah Cat the cute kitty
(purrrrrrrrrrrr)
Child sings:
It's kinda tough on old Bubbe
Cooking for our family
I hate her matzo balls, you see
So I sneak 'em to Hannah Cat
(louder "meow" sounds)
Chorus- Child sings carelessly:
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la something
Something la la whateveah
So have a Happy Hanaukah
Child sings nicely again:
Animal angels have flippers or fins
And they love you through thick and thin
Some grow horns and hairless skin?
Child whimpers:
B-bubbe What's happening to Hannah Cat?
(CACKLE CACKLE)
And B-b-b-b-ubbe What's happening to you????
Bubbe:
That's BEEZLE-Bubbe to you, little brat!
Don't you think I noticed
You haven't been eating
My matzo balls?
I'll teach you! Ungrateful schwein kind!
Hannah Cat- ATTACK!
(A melee ensues)
Child's singsong:
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, etc.
