Chorus:

I have a little dreydel

I made it out of clay

and when it's dry and ready oh dreydel I shall play

oh dreydel dreydel dreydel I made it out of clay oh dreydel dreydel dreydel I shall play

oh dreydel dreydel I made it out of clay

and when it's dry and ready oh dreydel I shall play

Verse:

It has a lovely body with legs so short and thin and when it's all tired it drops and then I win

dreydel dreydel dreydel with legs too short and thin

oh dreydel dreydel dreydel it drops and then I win

chorus

I got my first real dreydel

bought it at the five and dime

spun it till my fingers bled

Hannukah 1979

me and guys from Hebrew school

had a game

thought that we were cool

I regret Sid didnt know the rules

so the game never got real far

my dreydel's always playful

it loves to dance and spin

I have begun my dreydel complete now let's begin

oh dreydel dreydel dreydel it loves to dance and spin

oh dreydel dreydel dreydel lay down let's begin
