"My Dreidel"

|
1. |
I have a little dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidel I shall play.
|
|
|
|
Refrain: |
|
|
|
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay.
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
Now dreidel I shall play.
|
|
|
2. |
It has a lovely body,
With legs so short and thin.
And when my dreidel’s tired,
It drops and then I win! |
|
|
|
(Refrain) |

3. |
My dreidel’s always playful,
It loves to dance and spin.
A happy game of dreidel,
Come play now, let’s begin! |
