One More Hero In Shushan (One More Angel in Heaven, Joseph & His Dreamcoat)
                                          Parody by Suri Krieger
There's one more hero in Shushan, there's one more star in the sky,
Esther, you're really a beauty, you're the cherry on top of the pie!

(speak/song, kind of cowboy style, Souther drawl)
1. Now I got a story to tell you, the Megillah's where it's told
    Of a red nosed King named Ahashverosh, he loved wine & women & gold!
    One day he got mad at Queen Vashti. She wouldn't dance so he done her in!
    Then he held a beauty contest and when he saw Esther he said, 
          "Hey Babe, where you been?"
2. Well Esther and the King were happy. They wined & dined all hours of the 
night!
     Sometimes they were havin' such a mighty fine time,
     They carried on til past daylight!
     Esther, now she had an uncle, his name was Mordecai.
     A Jewish guy, of course, who was very smart ...
     You'd ask him anything and he'd tell you why !
3. One day Mordecai discovered, a plot to overthrow the King
    Bigtan & Teresh, they were the bad guys, were hung up on a tree to swing.
    Mordecai, he was rewarded. The King recognized him like he should.
    But it made mean Haman, the prime minister, so mad, things didn't look 
good!
4. Well Mordy & Haman had a showdown. Haman vowed he'd get all the Jews!
    But Mordy was a right quick thinker! He let Esther in on the news.
    So Esther, she had a dinner party, to which the King and Haman did come.
    When Esther cried, the King asked, "what's the matter?"
    Esther said, "Haman! He's the One!"
5. Ahashversoh ordered another swingin' party, for Haman and all of his band.
    While esther and Mordecai rejoiced and celebrated 
    With the Jews from all over the land!
(other choruses)
There's one more hero in Shushan, there's one more star in the sky
Mordecai, you're really a winner, you've made it to the top of the line.

There's one less villain in Shushan, there's one less tear in my eye.
Haman, you're really a looser, it's tough but you're goin' Bye -bye!
