[HANASHIR:13655] Re: purim parodies



I don't usually do parodies, but here's my "Bye bye love" for Vashti followed 
by "I Feel Lucky" for Esther (song by Mary Chapin Carpenter):

Bye Bye Love


Bye bye love
Bye bye Ahashverosh
Hello acting gauche
I think I really goofed

Bye bye love
Bye bye Shushan-ville
Hello time to kill
That's why I wrote this spoof!

I'm through with following that king around
I'm tired of wearing that heavy crown
And here' the reason that I'm so free
My loving Ahashverosh has banished me

Bye bye love…

I'm through with being a beauty queen
I'm through obeying a king that's mean
And here's the reason I get this chance
I just refused to join in the dance!


I Feel Lucky

Woke up this morning and I got out of bed
Today's the day the king will find a woman to wed
I put on my makeup, fixed up my hair
Tried to find the perfect kind of outfit to wear
My friends all say, girl, you don't stand a chance
Don't you know Ahashverosh likes all his women to dance!

But I feel lucky, whoa, whoa, whoa, I feel lucky, yeah
Gonna be the queen, I don't care what they say,
Oooh, I feel lucky today!

I feel lucky....I feel lucky, yeah
Jews around the world gonna celebrate
Oooh, I feel lucky today!
