Lyrics
When Judah and the Maccabees reclaimed the second temple
They lit the menorah using all the oil that they had
Now get this
There was only enough oil technically for one night
But that menorah burnt for eight nights straight
How the fuck do you explain that shit?
How the fuck do you explain that shit?
It was the greatest miracle of all time
I mean I know there was a talking burning bush
And God parted the red sea
But we're talking about one night's worth of oil
Burning for eight nights straight
How the fuck do you explain that shit?
How the fuck do you explain that shit?
How the fuck do you explain that shit?
Dreidels of fire
Spun a dreidel with my love
She took half, she gave me none
I bet she really cares about Hanukkah, yeah
Dreidels of fire
I'm not a rich man but I've got some gelt
I'm feeling handsome like Judah felt
But Hanukkah she hurt me when she gimmeled me again
Dreidels of fire, yeah
She turned my festival of lights
Into a festival of pain
If you need me
I'll be spinning my dreidel in a corkscrew motion
In a dark expanse
Dreidels of fire, yeah
Dreidels of fire, yeah
Dreidels of fire, yeah
Dreidels of fire, yeah
