Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
Oh Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah
Come light the Menorah
Let's have a party
We'll all dance the Hora
Gather round the table
We'll give you a treat
Dreidels to play with
And latkes to eat
And while we are playing
The candles are burning low
One for each night, yeah
They shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago
(Remind us of days long ago)
Long, long ago
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
When it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play
(Dreidel I shall play)
It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin
When it gets so tired
It drops and than I win
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
When it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play
(Put your hands up)
Hanukkah, Hanukkah
Festival of lights
Candles glow, in a row
Seven days, eight nights
Hanukkah, Hanukkah
Make your dreidel spin
Round and round
Round and round
(Round and round)
Everyone join in
Hanukkah (Hanukkah)
Hanukkah (Hanukkah)
What a merry time
(What a merry time)
Cakes to eat
What a treat
See the faces shine
Hanukkah, Hanukkah
Sing and dance this way
Round and round
(Round and round)
Round and round
(Round and round)
Happy holiday
Happy holiday!
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, mmm
