Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, also known as "The Dreidel Song" and "I Have a Little Dreidel," is a Jewish song that has appeared a few times in the South Park series.


It first appears in Jesus vs Santa. At the start of the short, the boys are singing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," then Stan interrupts the song, resulting in this dialogue:


Stan: "Wait a minute!"

Kyle: "What?"

Stan: "Aren't you Jewish, Kyle?"

Kyle: "Yeah, I think so."

Stan: "Dude, Jewish people don't celebrate Christmas. You're supposed to sing Hannukah songs."

(long pause)

Kyle: (singing) "Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made you out of clay. Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, with dreidel I will--"

Stan: "That's a stupid song."

Cartman: "Yeah, Hannukah sucks!"

Kyle: "Don't you oppress me, fat boy!"

Cartman: "Don't call me fat, buttfucker!"

Kyle: "Then don't belittle me, you fuckin' fatass!"

Cartman: "Goddammit, don't call me fat, you buttfuckin' son of a bitch!"


The song appears at the end of the short, after the boys say that Christmas is all about the presents, Kyle says that if you're Jewish, you get presents for 8 days. Then Stan and Cartman decide they want to be Jewish too, and the boys leave, singing the song.


Later, in "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo," while Kyle is instituted, as they're about ready to get on with the "Non-offensive non-denominational holiday play," Sheila wishes that Kyle were there to see it; it then cuts to Kyle in the asylum, singing the song in a somewhat crazed fashion.


Later, in "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics," Kyle begins singing the song as "I Have A Little Dreidel," explaining that you spin the dreidel, then he starts singing the song. Then Cartman enters then sings an anti-semitic song while Kyle's still trying to sing. Then Stan joins in. Then, Kyle's parents join in, and they all end up singing their own songs. In this song, Kyle's the only one singing the real song. Everyone else's songs are:

Cartman: "Jews....... play stupid games. Jews........ that's why they're lame."

Stan: "I'll try .........to make it spin. It fell............ I'll try again."

Sheila: "When you learn...... to make the dreidel spin, you'll know......... our people always win."

Gerald: "Courtney Cox....... I love you......... You're so hot............ on that show."
