Actually, when I replied to the list the first time, I had attached
them.  So this time I'm going to copy and paste them into this email.
It is so nice to be able to contribute for a change.  Enjoy the songs.

Who's The Uncle of the Queen 


(To the tune of Hinky Dinky Parley-Vous) 
Chords: D, A, G 

Who's the uncle of the queen? 
Mordechai! 
Who's the uncle of the queen? 
Mordechai! 

Who's the uncle of the queen 
Who overheard the plotters mean? 
We know his name was Mordechai! 

Who was it who saved the king? 
Mordechai! 
Who was it who saved the king? 
Mordechai! 

Who was it who saved the king 
And his reward a jeweled  ring? 
We know his name was Mordechai! 

Who rode on a big white horse? 
Mordechai! 
Who rode on a big white horse? 
Mordechai! 
Who rode on a big white horse 
While Haman walked? We know , ofcourse, 
We know his name was Mordechai! 
Purim Folk 
(To the tune of Old MacDonald) 
Chords:  E, A, B7 

Chorus:            It's the Purim holiday. 
Fun for you and me. 
We dress in costumes bright and gay 
Now who shall I be? 

Queen Esther fair 
She took the dare 
Saved the Jewish people there. 
Oh,.(chorus) 

Haman mean, 
With envy green 
He was wicked, caused a scene 
Oh, .(chorus) 

Mordechai 
Was a good guy 
By accident became a spy. 
Oh, .(chorus) 

I could be king 
With bony knees 
His name sounded like a sneeze, 
Oh, .(chorus) 

Vashti was 
The king's first wife 
She got sent away for life. 
Oh, .(chorus) 
The Courtship 
(To the tune of Daisy, Daisy) 
Chords: C, F, G 

Esther, Esther 
Give me your answer, do 
I'm half crazy all for the love ofyou 
You're gentle and kind and witty 
I also think you're pretty 
Oh, marry me, the Queen you'll be 
As the wife of the Persian king. 

Achashveros. 
Here is my answer true 
I'm not crazy all for the love ofyou 
But even though it is scary 
My uncle says to marry 
So if you're kind 
I will not mind 
Being wife to the Persian king. 
Vashti's Song 
(To the tune of Sippin' Cider) 
Chords are A, E, E7 

I'm Vashti fair 
I once was Queen 
Until the King 
He turned quite mean. 

            I'mVashti fair, I once was Queen 
            Untilthe King he turned quite mean. 

The King he had 
A royal ball 
He asked me to 
Dance for them all. 

I told the King, 
"No way, Jose - 
I'm just not in 
The mood today." 

He banished me 
Out here I'm stuck 
I wish his next 
Wife better luck. 

The moral is 
A simple thing 
Don't ever say 
No to a king. 
Brave Queen Esther 
(To the tune of Short'nin' Bread) 
Chords are C, G7 

Chorus:              Esther, Esther,brave Queen Esther 
                        Esther, Esther, save the Jews. 
                        Esther, Esther, brave Queen Esther 
                        Esther, Esther, save the Jews. 

Haman was a bad guy, did you know? 
He lived in Shushan long ago. 
Got the King to change his views 
Had him agree to kill the Jews. 

Mordechai, her uncle, cam andsaid, 
"If you can't help, then we allare dead. 
So, dear niece, it's up to you." 
What was Esther gonna do? 

Esther held a banquet for the King 
She asked Haman to the fling. 
The Kind said, "How can I thankyou?" 
Esther said, "Spare me, for I am aJew." 

The King reversed his high decree 
Said, "Persians, let the Jews allbe." 
So on Purim, celebrate - 
Instead of Jews, Haman met his fate.
