The Ramadan Song
“Hanukkah Song”
Lyrics by Tissa Hami
Put your turban on, here comes Ramadan
So much fun-adan to celebrate Ramadan
Ramadan is a tradition everlasting
Instead of one day of presents, we have 30 days of fasting
When you feel like the only kid in town without a menorah or tree
Here’s a list of people who are Muslim just like you and me
Mohammad Ali prays toward Mecca
So does Aladdin, and my sister’s friend Becca
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar gives praise to Allah
So does much of Africa but not Nelson Mandela
When you’re down on your knees, tired of praying on the floor
Remember you were once joined by Tupac Shakur
Who needs the Dreidel Song or Winter Wonderland?
When you can sing along with the American Taliban (he converted)
Put your turban on, it’s time for Ramadan
Jerry Lewis has a telethon, it’s time to celebrate Ramadan
Martha Stewart, not a Muslim
If she converted, she’d sell burkas at K-Mart
Guess who else can’t eat pepperoni or prosciutto
Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto
Mike Tyson is half-Muslim, so’s Ahmad Rashad
Put them together and you’re ready for jihad
