The DREYDL Song (I have a little dreydl)

Samuel E. Goldfarb

S. S. Grossman

English Lyrics

I have a little dreydl
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreydl I shall play.

Oh, Dreydl, dreydl, dreydl
I made it out of clay,And
When it's dry and ready
Then dreydl I shall play.

I have a little dreydl
I made it out of straw it
Went 80 miles an hour and
It broke the spinning law.

Oh, Dreydl, dreydl, dreydl
I made it out of straw I
spun it on the table and
it broke the spinning law.

I have a little dreydl
I made it out of soap
I'll spin it in the
batth tub, it will
not melt I hope.

Oh, Dreydl, dreydl, dreydl
I made it out of soap
I'll spin it in the
batth tub, it will
not melt I hope.


I have a little dreydl
I made it out of mind
An imaginary dreydl is
The hardest kind to find.


Oh, Dreydl, dreydl, dreydl
I made it out of mind
An imaginary dreydl is
The hardest kind to find.

I have a little dreydl
I made it out of clay
I did not spin my dreydl
Because the song went on to long.







Translation

Alternative Version:
I have a little dreydl
I made it out of tin
I put a weight on one side
And now I always win!

I have a little dreydl
I made it out of plastic
it may not be traditional
but boy it spins fantastic!
