Puppy for Hanukkah - Daveed Diggs

You know what I wantah

(What you want, what you want, what you want, what you want, what you want)

I want a puppy for Hanukkah

(Wanna puppy, wanna puppy, wanna puppy, wanna puppy, wanna puppy)

And I’ma get just what I wanted, yeah

(Gon' get it, gon' get it, gon' get it, gon' get it, gon' get it)

I’mma get a puppy for Hanukkah

(Get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy)

Some kids write lists for they Christmas gifts

And they send 'em all off to they Santas

But I don’t trip off a list for my gifts

I’mma get it cause I got eight chances

That’s right, eight nights, festival of lights

Go hard for a week with a plus one

So y’all keep stressin', be good, learn lessons

But Hanukkah is the best fun

And you can laugh if you want, huh

(Laughin', laughin', laughin', laughin', laughin')

But I’mma get a puppy for Hanukkah

(Get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy)

Clarinet, no harmonica

(Play the clarint, play the clarinet, play the clarint)

When I get a puppy for Hanukkah (That's right)

Okay, first night and I’m feeling right

Mama came with a gift-wrapped box

It don’t bark, don’t bite, don’t cry when I shake it

So I’m pretty sure that it’s just socks

But you never know, miracles happen

I tap in and start to rip the paper

Oh, please let it be the puppy that I wanted

I don’t wanna wait till-

Oh, yep that’s just socks

I’mma get what I wanted to

(What you want, what you want, what you want, what you want, what you want)

I’mma get a puppy for Hanukkah

(Get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy)

I ain’t even trippin' on it, bruh

(I ain’t gonna trip, I ain’t gonna trip, I ain’t gonna trip)

Cause I’mma get a puppy for Hanukkah (Oh yeah)

Night two, what it doo, candles get lit, lit (It's lit)

Latkes, sour cream is the best dip (Dip)

Applesauce on the side, I might just get

Adonai ain’t gonna trip

Baruch atah Adonai

Eloheinu melech ha’olam

Asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav

V’tzivanu l’hadlik ner

Shel Hanukkah

That blessing is a bop, now I’ve said it

Not sure what it means, but I learned it phonetic

By the way, you got a present for me, is it what I wanted?

Pass that shamash, let’s get the flame started

Ooh, for me?

Oh!

Well, you shouldn’t have, I-

Well, I guess I’ll just, um…

Oh, that’s a, that’s a sweater!

Did somebody knit this?

It’s really, it’s really great

This isn’t going how I saw it, huh

(It ain’t goin' well, it ain’t goin' well)

I really hope I get this puppy for Hanukkah

(Get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy, get a puppy)

It’s all I ever really wanted for

(It's all I want, it’s all I want, it’s all I want)

Just a puppy for Hanukkah (Gimme that dog)

Lights keep burning and nights just pass

Menorah is now covered up with wax

I thought it would be obvious, I didn’t want to ask

But will tonight be the night I get my puppy at last?

My feet are warm and my body is cozy

The hats and the mittens and umbrella are totally great

Love it all, I’m the king of style

There’s one thing I’ve been wanting all this while

Wait

Wait, is that?

Could it be?

It’s- ha ha!

Oh my gosh!

You’re everything I ever wanted for

(You are what I want, you are what I want, you are what I want)

You’re my puppy for Hanukkah

(You're my puppy, you’re my puppy, you’re my puppy, you’re my puppy,

you’re my puppy)

I’mma name you Monica

Nah, probably not, that’s a weird name for a dog

(That's a weird name, that’s a weird name, that’s a weird name)

But it rhymes with Hanukkah

I got my Hanukkah puppy

I got my Hanukkah puppy

I got my Hanukkah puppy

I got my Hanukkah puppy

I got my Hanukkah puppy

I got my Hanukkah puppy

I got my Hanukkah puppy
