8 Days of Chanukah

On the first day of Chanukah 
my true love sent to me 
A Zionist in a pear tree
On the second of Chanukah 
y true love sent to me 
Two free- marketers 
and a Zionist in a pear - tree
On the third day of Chanukah 
my true love sent to me 
Three democratic socialists
Two free - marketers 
and a Zionist in a pear tree
On the fourth day of Chanukah 
my true love sent to me
Four moderate democrats 
Three Democratic Socialist 
Two free - marketers 
And a Zionist in a pear tree
On the fifth day of Chanukah 
my true love sent to me 
five Republican operatives 
Four moderate democrats

Two Free Marketers 
And a Zionist in a pear tree
On the sixth day of Chanukah 
My true love sent to me 
Six ultra - liberals 
Five Republican operatives 
Four moderate Democrats

And a Zionist in a pear tree 
On the seventh day of Chanukah 
My true love sent to me
