Oh Hanukah
Oh Hanukah, Oh Hanukah! Come light the menorah.
Let's have a party. We'll all dance the horah.
Gather around the table, We'll give you a treat.
Dreidels to play with, And latkas to eat.
And while we are playing, the candles are burning low.
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.
The Dreidel Song
I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay,
And when it's dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play.
O dreidel dreidel dreidel, I made it out of clay,
And when its dry and ready, Then dreidel I shall play.
It has a lovely body with legs so short and thin,
And when it is all tired, it drops and then I win.
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, With legs so short and thin.
And when it is all tired, It drops and then I win.
