lyrics

Blue Dreidel Yodel #9

This city life is far away from what I grew up with
and it’s nice to have some friends who know what Rosh Hashanah is
But yesterday as i was shopping for my little boy
i came across my favorite childhood toy.

My mind went back to the good ol’ days when i was kid
And thought of all the games we played and funny things we did
my favorite country song, hearing Patsy Yodel-ay
my favorite toy, of course, was the top made out of clay

So i bought that little dreidel-eidel-ay-dee-dle-oh-dee-ay…

So now when i get homesick, lonesome or ver klempt
I put on Jimmie Rodgers and my Kentucky accent
And spin the top for chocolate coins, shin, gimel, nun or hei.
So listen all you country jews up in the big cit-ay.

Go buy yourself a little dreidel…
