I notice nobody mentioned depressing Hanukkah songs, so in the interests of diversity, here goes: THE NEW DREIDEL SONG I had a little dreidel, I made it out of clay . It looked like dreck and never dried, So I threw it away O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel—who makes them out of clay? The plastic ones are better:--They're easier to play. I got a nasty splinter from a dreidel made of wood But then it got infected And now I don't feel so good That lousy little dreidel sent me to the ICU With a drug-resistant staph And now I think I'm gonna sue. I felt compelled to gamble so to Vegas I flew down But all along the Strip no dreidel tables could be found O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel--It's your game that I crave I'd bet that Bugsy Siegel would be spinning in his grave So I went to shoot some craps, but just imagine how I felt When the croupier demanded chips Instead of chocolate gelt! O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel—what a stupid thing I did I forgot you're not for grownups, But you're only meant for kids!
