[HANASHIR:13591] Re: purim songs

[Amy Fried, Ph.D. <jdkrheum...>]

My favorite purim song is "Hey-Man!" by Stephen Richards (in Manginot). 

You can also do Purim or Haman bingo:
"There is a happy holiday and Purim is its name oh.." or
"There was a wicked wicked man and Haman was his name oh" and 
To the tune of When You're Happy and You Know It:
When you hear the name of Haman stomp your feet (X2)
When you hear the name of Haman,
You get mad because you blame him
When you hear the name of Haman stomp your feet.

When you hear the name of Esther clap your hands (X2)
When you hear the name of Esther,
Not Abraham or Lester
When you hear the name of Esther clap your hands.

When you hear the name Ahashveros turn around (X2)
When you hear the name Ahashveros,
Dance around with your sombreros
When you hear the name Ahashveros turn around

When you hear the name Mordechai shout hooray (X2)
When you hear the name Mordechai, you're so happy you could cry,
When you hear the name Mordechai shout hooray.
(These were given to me by Carol Rubin)
