[HANASHIR:12896] Re: Fun lyrics to I Have a little dreidel

[Barton1320 <Barton1320...>]

Either last year or the year before, this list came up with a ton of parodies 
on the dreidel song.  I used them with my Sunday School classes, all ages, 
and the whole concept was a huge success.  I would sing two or three versions 
so the kids would get the idea, then asked them to come up with something the 
dreidel was made of and the teachers and I would struggle through composing 
the lyrics.  It was great fun.  Here are some of the verses I remember.  Some 
are from the list and perhaps one or two are those we made up.

I had a little dreidel, I made it out of glass
My mom said when I spin it, to spin it on the grass.

I had a little dreidel, I made it out of chocolate,
but when I went to spin it, it had melted in my pocket.

I had a little dreidel, I made it out of wood,
and when I went to spin it, it spun just like it should.

I had a little dreidel, I made it out of ice,
but when I went to spin it, it melted...that's not nice!!

I had a little dreidel, I made it out of mud,
and when I went to spin it, it fell down with a thud.  (a real stretch!)

And on and on....

Have fun!
