Oh, if I were a dreidel
I tell you what I'd do
I'd spin around a million times
So I could play with you.

Chorus:
If I were a dreidel
If I were a dreidel
If I were a dreidel
I'd spin around for you.

Oh, if I were a latke
I tell you what I'd do
I'd fry myself in lots of oil
So I'd be food for you.

Chorus:
If I were a latke
If I were a latke
If I were a latke
Oh, I'd be food for you.

Oh, if I were a candle
I tell you what I'd do
I'd jump in your menorah
So I'd be lit by you.

Chorus:
If I were a candle
If I were a candle
If I were a candle
Oh, I'd be lit by you.

Oh, if I were some gelt
I tell you what I'd do
I'd find my way to your house
And I'd be a gift for you.

Chorus:
If I were a some gelt
If I were a some gelt
If I were a some gelt
Oh, I'd be a gift for you.

"Gelt" refers to money -- usually chocolate candy coins used as Hanukkah goodies.
