Special Chanukah Songs
I HAVE A LITTLE DREIDLE
I have a little dreidle,
I made it out of clay.
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidle I shall play.
(Chorus)
0 dreidle, dreidle, dreidle,
I made it out of clay;
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidle 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.
OH CHANUKAH
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.

Chanukah, hu hag toy;
Chanukah, hu hag toy;
S'vivon, sov, sov, soy.
Dreidle, spin, spin, spin!
Chanukah is a good holiday;
Chanukah is a good holiday;
Dreidle, spin, spin, spin!
Hag simha hu la-am
Nes gadol haya sham;
Nes gadol haya sham;
Hag simha hu la-am.
It's a happy holiday for the people,
A great miracle happened there
A great miracle happened there
It's a happy holiday for the people.

Rock of ages, let our song

Praise Your saving power;

You amidst the raging throng

Were our sheltering tower.

Furious they assailed us,

But Your help availed us;

And Your word broke their sword
0 When our own strength failed us.
