Ben Lee Lyrics

"Dreidels Of Fire"
(originally by Adam Green)

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 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
We talking about one night's worth of oil burnt 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 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
Dreidels of fire
Dreidels of fire, yeah
