LYRICS
[V1] We won’t wrap a present for you in red and green paper
We won’t get you a card that you’ll just throw away later
We won’t cut down a tree for you and set it up in the living room
But mom we promise to always…

Make you a latke!
Heat up the oil
Deep fry the latkes
Until they’re golden brown!

[V2] We won’t walk downstairs wearing matching argyle sweaters
We won’t make a wish list and send the North Pole letters
We won’t harmonize the words to your favorite Christmas tunes
But Mom we promise to always…

Make you a latke!
Shred the potatoes
Squeeze out the water
They’ll be golden brown!

[V3] We won’t wake up early on December 25th morning
Your mantle won’t have our names on hand sewn stockings
We never believed that some man came down a chimney flue
But Mom we promise to always…

Make you a latke!
Heat up the oil
Deep fry those latkes
Until they’re golden brown!

Yeah we’ll make you a latke!
Apple sauce and sour cream
Fry ‘em ‘till they’re crispy
They’ll be golden brown!
