A nice Jewish girl
When I was young
Many Jewish girls
I once was among
When Chanukah came
There’d be no tree
And just a menorah
With candles to see
One or two presents
I would receive
Not one for each night
As some may believe
As I got older
I asked for a tree
And lights on the house
But that wouldn’t be
Exchanging presents
With a non Jewish friend
Enjoying the season
That quickly would end
Christmas carols
Were sung at school
Some schools won’t allow
It’s now the new rule
A gentile boy
I could never date
A Jewish boy
Had to be my mate
It wasn’t until
My much later years
I learned of the Nazis
And had many fears
I learned about Hitler
And what he had done
Killing six million Jews
Most couldn’t outrun
Ann Frank’s diary
Made me upset
Her family in hiding
Being found was a threat
I’m a grown woman
But reluctant to tell
People I’m Jewish
We’re not liked too well
In the suburbs of Houston
It’s been hard to find
Friends that are Jewish
Though I don’t mind
My neighbor is Jewish
How lucky to meet
One Jewish family
On the same street
Suicide bombings
The Arabs will choose
They don’t value life
Plus they hate the Jews
Our President says
There’s a good rapport
With the Israelis
Who he won’t ignore
