Swingin' Dreidel

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready, oh, 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 groovy body, with legs so short and thin
And when it's very tired, it drops and then I win.
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, legs so short and thin
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it drops and then I win.


Nes gadol haya, sham, a great miracle happened there
We light the candles for eight nights.
It's happ'nin' everywhere.
My dreidel's always playful. It loves to dance and spin
A swingin' game of dreidel, come on now let's begin.
