Ner Rishon
Ner Sheni
Ner Shelishi
Ner Revii
Ner Chamishi
Ner Shishi
Ner Shevii
Ner Shemini

We put them in starting from the right
we add one more on every night
But don't forget when you start to light
To do it from the left to right

The Shamash is highest it's the ner (ed. note: candle)
That lights every wick from here to there
No other candle can compare
to the shamash the highest ner.

To Sandy
Actually, the song has it right (no pun intended).

We first light only the rightmost candle, and add one toward the left each night. When we actually kindle the lights, we begin with the new one (on the left) and move toward the right. We do so since the newly added light demonstrates the constantly increasing miracle of the lasting oil in the Holy Temple (Code of Jewish Law 676:5).

left to right??
The candles are meant to be lit from right to left not left to right. I love this song, but it's wrong.
