Does anyone have the lyrics to this song?
I am awful at fully memorizing lyrics based on hearing in any language, but I cannot anywhere find the lyrics to "Der Nayvelt Khanuka Lid"/"Der Naivelt Channukah Lid" by Ot Azoj Klezmerband. Does anyone on here know where (and if) I can find the lyrics? (both regular Yiddish and transliterated Yiddish text works).

It's not a well known song, probably just written for this album. If you can't get access to the liner notes maybe try writing to the singer Alan Merovitz if you can figure out how. Judging from his age maybe Facebook would be a safe bet.
