Strum
D-DU-UDU
The war went on and on and on
Until the mighty Greeks were gone
I flip my latkes in the air sometimes sayin
ayyy ohhh spin the drei-del
Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights singing
ayyy ohhh, light the can-dles
We say al ha-ni-ssim
Oh yea for all eight nights
Then we play dreidel
By the candle-light
And I told you once
Now I told you twice
Bout the mi-ra-cle
Of the candle-light
They took the field field field field
The rivals thought are they for real real real real
Those maccabees theyd never yield yield yield yield
They charged ahead with sword and shield shield shield shield
The war went on and on and on
Until the mighty Greeks were gone
I flip my latkes in the air sometimes sayin
ayyy ohhh spin the drei-del
Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights singing
ayyy ohhh, light the can-dles
We say maoz tzur
Oh yea for all eight nights
Then we play drei-del
By the candle-light
And I told you once
Now I told you twice
Bout the mi-ra-cle
Of the candle-light
And the great menorah
For eight days it kept on burning
What a celebration
A great return to Torah learning
Cuz I,I,I can feel it
And Ay-ay-ay
Nes gadol, nes gadol
Nes gadol hayah sham
Nes gadol hayah sham
I flip my latkes in the air sometimes sayin
ayyy ohhh spin the drei-del
Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights singing
ayyy ohhh, light the can-dles
We say al ha-ni-ssim
Oh yea for all eight nights
Then we play dreidel
By the candle-light
And I told you once
Now I told you twice
Bout the mi-ra-cle
Of the candle-light
