DreidelDreidelDreidel
(a song)
by Old Man Nelson & His Toy Robot Orchestra
I had a little dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
and when it's dry and ready
then it's dreidel I shall play.
O Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made you out of clay
and when you're dry and ready
then it's dreidel I shall play.

I had a little dreidel,
I made it out of wood
And every time I spin it up
it never turns out good.
O Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made you out of clay
and when you're dry and ready
then it's dreidel I shall play.

I had a little dreidel,
I made it out of steel
And every time I spin it up
Feels like I'm on the Katherine Wheel—
O Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made you out of clay
and when you're dry and ready
then it's dreidel I shall play

Oh, Silent Night,
Holy Night
The dreidel spins
The rabbis fight.
Round yon virgin,
Jesus and Mum
The miracle baby
spun a gimel and won.
All bets in, time to spin
All bets in it's time to spin.

I had a little dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
and when it's dry and ready
then it's dreidel I will play.
O Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,
I made you out of clay
and when you're dry and ready
then it's dreidel I will play
