English:
Dm       A    Dm       A
Spinning top, spin and turn,
Dm        A        Dm      A
While the Hanukkah candles burn.
Dm     A         Dm    Gm
What a beautiful ho-li-day,
A7                 Dm     A7  Dm
Let's all eat, and dance, and play.

Gm              Dm
Tell the story, chant the prayers,
A7              Dm
A great miracle happened there.
Gm             Dm
Its the fest-i-val of lights;
A7                    Dm  A7    Dm
We'll be spinning for all eight nights.
