[HANASHIR:11037] Purim Parodies

[Callie M <callie-hoo...>]

A little last minute, but dug these up and thought you may enjoy!

Esther in cahoots with Mordechai (to the tune of Lucy in the Sky with 
Diamonds)

Picture yourself in a city called Shushan
With a silly old king who likes to have fun
His queen just refused him, he ordered politely,
Now there goes her day in the sun

He holds a contest of maidens so fair
One by one they each smile
Who will he pick to be his new queen: the Jew Esther

Chorus:
Esther in the cahoots with Mordechai (3xs)
Saves the Je-ews.

Follow her down to her meeting with cousin
Mordechai, he is one smart guy
Turns out that Hamen is plotting against us
I guess we’ll never know why

It’s all up to Esther and her bravery
Can she approach the King?
In his hand a scepter that tells if she lives or dies!

Chorus

Picture yourself in the month of Adar
The Jews are real nervous, will they survive?
But Esther and Mordechai, they saw to it
That Hamen could no longer spread his lies!



Every Little Thing She did was Magic (a Purim Parody)
(Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, The Police!)

Though her start was kinda shaky:
A beauty queen turned into royalty
Her name lives on forever:
Oh, Esther, we drink to thee!

Chorus:
Every little thing she did was magic
Everything she did just saved the day
Even though our fate before was tragic
In the end was Hamen put to shame……

Oh we have to tell the story 
Of  the three days she and Shushan didn’t eat
Esther talked to Ahashveros
Hello Jews and Bye-bye Hamen, What a feat!

Ending:
Chorus twice then (instead of “every little thing, every little 
thing….”) 
         Chag Purim, Chag Purim!



As you wander on through life
Keep your eye upon the donut...
And not the hole!
