I have a little dreidel - the forgotten verses

[Robert E Scheinberg <roscheinberg...>]

I thought some people might find these useful - 

some were written years ago by Pizmon - Columbia University's Jewish a
cappella group; others were composed by 5th- and 6th graders this year in
Hoboken.

=============================================================

I have a little dreidel
I made it out of clay
and when it?s dry and ready 
oh dreidel I shall play.

I have a little dreidel
I made it out of plastic
if someone steals my dreidel
I?ll do something very drastic.

I have a little dreidel
I made it out of snow
but when I looked last summer  
my dreidel!!  Where?d it go??!

I have a little dreidel
I made it out of gold
and if you give me money
to you it will be sold.

I have a little dreidel
I made it out of wood
but I set it on fire - 
now it don't spin so good.

Judas Maccabeus 
he fought against the Greeks
a drop of oil lasted 
for 1.14 weeks.

We take our Hanukkah candles
and put them in the menorah
and if you don?t know how
look it up in the Gemorah.

I threw away my dreidel
That shouldn?t make you fret
I?m done with playing dreidel
I?ve moved up to roulette!

Christmas decorations
for us are quite extraneous--
'cause Hanukkah's not Christmas
although they're simultaneous.
