Chanukah - Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I have a little dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play!
Oh - dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play!
It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin
And when my dreidel's tired
It drops and then I win!
Oh - dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play!
My dreidel's always playful
It loves to dance and spin
A happy game of dreidel
Come play now, let's begin!
Oh - dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play!

Long Version
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, now driedel I shall play.
I had a little dreidel, I made it out of soap,
I spun it in the bathtub, it will not melt, I hope.
Chorus
Oh dreidel, driedel, dreidel, I made it out of soap.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it will not melt, I hope.
I had a little dreidel, I made it out of straw,
It went 80 miles per hour, and broke the speeding law.
Chorus
Oh dreidel, driedel, dreidel, I made it out of straw.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it broke the speeding law.
I had a little dreidel, I made it out of bread,
I did not spin my dreidel, I ate it up instead.
Chorus
Oh dreidel, driedel, dreidel, I made it out of bread.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I ate it up again.
I had a little dreidel, I made it out of sand,
And when I tried to spin it, it crumbled in my hand.
Chorus
Oh dreidel, driedel, dreidel, I made it out of sand.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it crumbled in my hand.
I had a little dreidel, I made it out of jelly,
And when I tried to spin it, it shook its little belly.
Chorus
Oh dreidel, driedel, dreidel, I made it out of jelly.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it shook its little belly.
Additional Version
Oh dreidel dreidel dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Oh dreidel I shall play
I have a little dreidel
I made it out of plastic
If someone steals my dreidel
I'll do something very drastic
[chorus]
I had a little dreidel
Whose moment of inertia
Was several factors smaller
Than my uncle's yellow Porsche
[chorus]
My brother took my dreidel
He swallowed it, he said
Since I can't spin my dreidel
I'll spin my bro instead
[chorus]
The position of my dreidel
Is quite hard to derive
Its angular momentum
Is certainly .5
[chorus]
My dear old friend from Harvard
Said no that can't be right
That with 8 bunsen burners
Your Menorah you can't light
I then replied quite quickly
Your knowledge is quite small
For my 8 bunsen burners
Are filled with methanol
[chorus]
My nerdy little dreidel
Said to a course 6-3*
My outcomes are well quantized
I'll do well at MIT
[chorus]
Oh X-mas decorations
For us are quite extraneous
For X-mas isn't Chanukah
Although they're simultaneous
[chorus]
Oh Judas Maccabeus
He fought against the Greeks
A drop of oil lasted
For [SMACK!] 14 weeks
