Can anyone help me with a Chanukah song in Hebrew?

Can anyone help me remember the words of this Chanukah song? Googling brings up a song with the same first line but the rest is completely different (and doesn't fit the melody as I remember it).

IIRC it goes:

Chanukah, Chanukah, chag yaffeh kol kach.
Chag shell or, chag shell dror (tumpty tumpty tump)
Al koll kir, ner (tumpty tump)
(Tumpty tumpty tump etc)
Shiru-nah Chanukah (tumpty tumpty tump!)

Obviously the tumpty tumps are the bits I cannot recall!

Anyone know it?

I know the Yiddish version of this one! DP is Israeli so I'll ask him about the Hebrew version when he rises from his pit wakes up.

This has been earworming away in my head all night. Most annoying, but OTOH another snippet has returned to me: the last line goes

Shiru-nah Chanukah ein camo hu chag!

(I wish I could write Hebrew - it would make Googling easier.)

Waiting for Bezalelle'sBochur in anticipation Grin

I think the song you're after is the last on the list.

That's the one I find, too, but it's not the one I'm trying to remember. Only the first lines are the same.
