MY DREIDEL
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
Now dreidel I shall play
It has a lovely body
With a leg so short and thin,
And when it gets all tired
It drops and then I win!
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
With a leg so short and thin,
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
It drops and then I win.
