DREIDEL, DREIDEL, DREIDEL
(BAR)
4/4 1…2…123
(Yiddish below)
I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play
CHORUS:
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, with legs so short and thin
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it loves to dance and spin
coda: end on C
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, then dreidel I shall play
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it drops and then I win.
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, come play now, let’s begin (end on C)
It has a lovely body with legs so short and thin
And when it gets all tired, it drops and then I win.
Chorus
My dreidel is so playful, it loves to dance and spin
A happy game of dreidel, come play now, let’s begin.
Chorus
