Oh Chanukah
Hear the music!

Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah, come light the Menorah,
Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora.
Gather round the table, we'll give you a treat.
S'vivon to play with, Latkes 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;

I Have a Little Dreidel
Hear the music!

I have a little dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidel I shall play!

(Chorus)
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay;
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
Then dreidel I shall play.

It has a lovely body,
With legs so short and thin,
And when it gets all tired,
It drops and then I win!

(Chorus)
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
With leg so short and thin,
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
It drops and then I win!
