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 heck do you explain that shizz?
How the heck do you explain that shizz?

It was the greatest miracle of all time
I know there was a talking, burning bush
God parted the Red Sea
But one night's worth of oil burnt for eight nights straight

How the heck do you explain that shizz?
How the heck do you explain that shizz?
How the heck do you explain that shizz?

Dreidels of fire
Spun a dreidel with my love
She took half, she gave me none
I bet you she really cares about Hanukkah
Yeah, dreidels of fire
I'm not a rich man but I got some gold
I'm feeling handsome like Judah felt
But Hanukkah heard me when she gambled 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
