Spoken:
All year long our parents tell us “pick up toys,clean up this place”.
But this year we have decided to clean up our human race.
Mother Earth is in a shambles,all messed up from north to south.
So we’ll start by taking care to clean up our own human house.
Verse:
Plant the earth with seeds of gladness,
help to turn the wrongs to rights.
Wrap the world in Christmas wishes,
paint the sky with Chanukah lights.
Dust the cities full of sunshine,
chase the sadness from the night.
Wrap the world in Christmas wishes,
paint the sky with Chanukah lights.
Chorus:
Wash the sky-lights, sweep the oceans full of fear.
Find those doubters, tell them peace will soon be here.
Verse:
Plaster up the walls of anger,
chase the bad guys out of sight.
Wrap the world in Christmas wishes,
paint the sky with Chanukah lights!
Spoken:
Plant the earth with seeds of gladness, stock the hills with cans of peace.
Dust the cities filled with cob-webs, from the fighting in the streets.
Shake the people full of anger, sweep the oceans full of fear.
Tell them it’s the time for loving, tell them peace will soon be here.
Chorus:
Wash the sky-lights, sweep the oceans full of fear.
Find those doubters, tell them peace will soon be here.
Verse:
Plaster up the walls of anger,
chase the bad guys out of sight.
Wrap the world in Christmas wishes,
paint the sky with Chanukah lights!
