Oh Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah
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
Dreidels to play with
And latkes to eat
And while we are playing
The candles are burning low
One for each night, yeah
They shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago
(Remind us of days long ago)
Long, long ago
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
When it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play
(Dreidel I shall play)
It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin
When it gets so tired
It drops and than I win
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
When it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play
(Put your hands up)
Hanukkah, Hanukkah
Festival of lights
Candles glow, in a row
Seven days, eight nights
Hanukkah, Hanukkah
Make your dreidel spin
Round and round
Round and round
(Round and round)
Everyone join in
Hanukkah (Hanukkah)
Hanukkah (Hanukkah)
What a merry time
(What a merry time)
Cakes to eat
What a treat
See the faces shine
Hanukkah, Hanukkah
Sing and dance this way
Round and round
(Round and round)
Round and round
(Round and round)
Happy holiday
