I just clicked your link... that's not how I learned it in Hebrew School. We always sang "sivivon to play with and latkes to eatle" not "dreidles to play with and latkes to eat". I can see how the switch would happen, since "sivivon" (sieve vee von... hmm how to write what "von" sounds like, it kind of rhymes with loan or hone) means dreidles.

Which scans better? Whichever does is probably the original. But I can't tell because my meter-perception is abnormal.
