Dreidels of Fire

When Judah and the Maccabees

Reclaimed the second temple

They lit the menorah

Using all the oil they had

Now get this,

There was only enough oil for one night

But the menorah burned

For eight nights!

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 know there was a talking burning bush

And god parted the red sea

But one's nights worth of oil

Burned 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 nun

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 hurt me when she gimel'd 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
