Come Spin A Dreidel

[Verse]
Spin a dreidel round and round
Land on gimel win what’s down
Chocolate gelts’ festival spoil
Hanukkah joy in a golden foil
[Verse 2]
Nun means nothing don’t despair
Shin we give but it’s still fair
if Hey, you win take half the pot
Ante up one of what you’ve got

[Chorus]
Spin a dreidel till you laugh
Hanukkah joy in each spin’s path
Gelt and games in festive light
Chanukah’s aglow shines through each night

[Verse 3]
Long ago a temple gleam
Oil burned bright a miracle seen
Days of eight we celebrate
History returns with every plate

[Verse 4]
Children gather round to play
Family laughs the old and gray
Chocolate coins the sweetest prize
Eyes aglow with holiday skies

[Chorus]
Spin a dreidel till you laugh
Hannukah joy in each spin’s path
Gelt and games a festive sight
Hanukkah’s glow is pure delight
