The Latke Pokey, © 2012
Remember the Hokey Pokey? Well here we do the Latke Pokey and make some delicious Hanukah latkes while we dance.

The Latke Pokey – traditional tune, with new lyrics by Joanie Calem © 2012

We put potatoes in, we take potatoes out, we put potatoes in, and we stir ‘em all about,
We do the latke pokey and we turn ourselves around, Hey, that's what it's all about!

Now don’t cry!
We put onions in, we take onions out, we put onions in, and we stir ‘em all about,
We do the latke pokey and we turn ourselves around, hey, that's what it's all about!

We put eggs in, we take eggs out, we put eggs in, and we stir ‘em all about,
We do the latke pokey and we turn ourselves around, hey, that's what it's all about!

We put some matza meal in, we take some matza meal out, we put some matza meal in,
and we stir it all about,
We do the latke pokey and we turn ourselves around, hey, that's what it's all about!

We put some salt in, we take some salt out, we put some salt in, and we stir it all about,
We do the latke pokey and we turn ourselves around, hey, that's what it's all about!

Now don’t sneeze!
We put some pepper in, we take some pepper out, we put some pepper in, and we stir it all about,
We do the latke pokey and we turn ourselves around, hey, that's what it's all about! AHCHOO!

We put some oil in the pan, we take some oil out of the pan, we pour the batter in the pan,
and we fry ‘em all about,
We do the latke pokey and we turn ourselves around, hey, that's what it's all about!

Now they are all cooked….
We put some applesauce on, we take some applesauce off, we put some sour cream on,
and we dip our self about,
We do the latke pokey and we turn ourselves around, hey, that's what it's all about!

We do the Latke Pokey, we do the Latke pokey, we do the Latke pokey, that's what it's all about, HEY!
