I Have a Little Dreidel
I Have a Little Dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidel I shall play !
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
Then Dreidel I shall play.
Cousins, aunts, and uncles
Come to my house today,
I give them hugs and kisses,
And later we shall play.
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
Then Dreidel I shall play.
We gather in the kitchen,
Each and every one,
We're going to make some latkes,
Because it's so much fun.
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
Then Dreidel I shall play.
The cousins grate potatoes,
That's what we like to do -
We mix matzo and some onions,
Then add an egg or two.
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
Then Dreidel, I shall play.
Mommy fries the latkes
And puts them on a plate,
Supper's almost ready,
And I can hardly wait.
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
Then Dreidel I shall play.
First we light the candles
Because we celebrate
The victory of the Maccabees -
Tonight we're lighting eight.
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
Oh, Dreidel Dreidel, Dreidel,
Then Dreidel I shall play.
We all go to the table
Cause now it's time to eat
Our applesauce and latkes,
What a yummy treat !
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made out of clay,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
Then Dreidel I shall play.
Now that supper's over,
we wash and put away,
We gather in the living room -
Now Dreidel we shall play.
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
Then Dreidel I shall play.
The kids sit in a circle -
We all take turns to spin:
Some take some pennies out,
Some put some pennies in.
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
Then Dreidel I shall play.
It has a lovely body,
With leg so short and thin,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
It drops and then I win !
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
With leg so short and thin,
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,It drops and then I win !
Celebrate Hanukkah with this festive adaptation of the ever-popular Dreidel song !
