The Dreydl Song

I have a little dreydl I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready oh dreydl I shall play
Oh dreydl dreydl dreydl I made it out of clay
Oh dreydl dreydl dreydl oh dreydl I shall play

Chorus
Oh dreydl dreydl I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready oh dreydl I shall play

It has a lovely body with legs so short and thin
And when it’s all tired it drops and then I win
Dreydl dreydl dreydl with legs so short and thin
Oh dreydl dreydl dreydl it drops and then I win

I got my first real dreydl bought it at the five and dime
Spun it til my fingers bled Hanukkah 1979
Me and some guys from Hebrew school
Had a game thought that we were cool
Ira quit Sid didn’t know the rules
So the game never got real far

My dreydl’s always playful it loves to dance and spin
A happy game of dreydl come play now let’s begin
Oh dreydl dreydl dreydl it loves to dance and spin
Oh dreydl dreydl dreydl play now let’s begin
