The lights of Hanukkah are shining.
Their glow will brighten up the sky.
Let these lights of love,
Tell the story of,
A miracle of days gone by.

The people had a little oil.
Enough to last for just one night.
But with God's great ways,
It lasted eight long days,
And that's a miracle of light (or it might be life)...

We learned this in 5th grade music class (I won't tell you how many years ago), and I can't remember the rest...nor can I find it anywhere on the internet.

Thanks!

The chorus goes:

On Chanukah, On Chanukah
We light the menorah
We celebrate the season
By danicing the Horah

Happiness and joy
On this holiday
Everyday for Eight days
Children will play

And while they
Are playing
The candles of Hannukah glow

Ever so brightly
Reminding us nightly
of wonders of days long ago

Ever so brightly
Reminding us nightly
of wonders of days long ago...

On hannukah, on hannukah
the Festival of Lights.

Yaay!

Actually, those are two different songs. The one the original poster referenced goes like this:

The lights of Hanukkah are shining, Their glow will brighten up the sky
Let these lights of love tell the story of a miracle of days gone by.
The people has a little oil, enough to last for just one night
But through God's great ways, it burned eighth long days, for this festival of lights!

Light the Candles, let them glow, they remind us of the miracle of long ago.
Light the candles, burn them bright, for this festival of lights.

I see children spinning dreidels, what a happy game they play.
People join along, in a happy song, celebrating for eight days.
Candles glow on a menorah, shining brightly through the night,
Times of joy and fun, gifts for everyone, on this festival of lights

Repeat Chorus
