Okay, I'll play.  Happy Purim!
Here's one from a entire shpiel based on Rodgers & Hammerstein's
"Oklahoma!", co-written with Jody Cohen-Crohn
copyright 1997 Robbi Sherwin & Jody Cohen-Crohn

I'M JUST A QUEEN WHO CAN SAY "NO"
(I'm just a girl who cain't say no)

VASHTI:
I'm just a Queen who can say "no"
I won't be ordered around
I want to keep my dignity
That isn't why I was crowned

        AHASHVEROSH:
        Other gals will dance at my command
        They'd never dare say no to me, their King
        You have got to learn your place, my dear
        Or you will have to give up everything

VASHTI:
I'm just a Queen who can say "no"
I'm in a terrible fix
Away from the palace I must go
I won't be one of his "chicks"

        I can see him now, my lousy ex
        Beholding all the beauties on parade
        He will pick a new Queen who reflects
        His chauvinistic tendencies displayed

I was the Queen who could say no
No I'm just saying "good-bye"
Telling my sisters: "Arise!"
"How you must open your eyes
You CAN say no!"
