Circle Left
Well, I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready, Then, dreidel I shall play

Allemande Left your Corner, Turn your Partner Right
Allemande Left your Corner and Weave the Ring tonight
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready, Then, dreidel I shall play
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready, Then, dreidel I shall play

Break Lyrics

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

Closer Lyrics

My dreidel is so playful, It loves to dance and spin
A happy game of dreidel, Come play now, let’s begin

FIGURE

Head/Sides Promenade, half way round the ring
Down the middle Square Thru 4 hands round go round I sing
All the way go around and do the Right and Left Thru
Pass Thru, Trade by, Touch 1/4
Scoot Back and then, Scoot Back again
Swing that lady round and round and Promenade my friend
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready, Then, dreidel I will play

TAG

And when it’s dry and ready
Then, dreidel I will play
