This works great for adults:

Another Shushan Night

Parody lyrics by Neil Weinstein, with apologies to Sam Cooke, who wrote the 
music

 
 
Another Shushan night and the King wants to party, 
But Queen Vashti won't come down and dance
Throw her out, time to make a new start-y
A new shot at romance
 
 
We're gonna have a pageant, so he can find the girl of his dreams
Oh, Esther is so pretty, and also smart and witty
She's a lock to be the queen
 
Another Shushan night; party with no resistance
With Queen Esther—the King's new wife
But Haman’s lurking off in the distance
To terrorize her life
 
When Haman hatched his evil plan, the Jews were destined to die
But Esther she was fated, to be the one related
To a cat named Mordechai
 
Another Shushan night and the Queen needs some courage
To plead her people's case before the King
Mordechai said “Hey cousin, don't be nervous
You're doing the right thing.”
 
The King, he set that Haman straight, it was a great day to be alive
The Jews they were allowed, to stand up and be proud
Of being members of the tribe

Another Shushan night and we’re all going to party
Mordechai is dancing in the street
The king and Esther gave all the Jews a new start-y
On Purim life is sweet
