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
