[HANASHIR:2407] purim songs

[goldenberg <goldnbrg...>]

here's one that I dug up from the back of the closet.  In an older grade, If 
you are teaching anti-semitism and Amalek, it is useful to bring Purim to the 
20th century.

OH COME LET US SING (to the tune of Man on the flying trapeze- Key of e flat is 
good.)

Oh, come let us sing, in heart rending style
Of one who was great and whom people did "heil"
The story is written on history's page,
And his name it began with an "aitch".

When he rose to the peak of his glory,
They lifted him high in the air;
And that is the end of the story,
But the world it was heard to declare:

Oh....He swings through the air, it's a joy to behold
His form is so perfect he's brave and he's bold,
It beats all the stunts you can see on the stage
And his name it begins with an "aitch"

It's a very sad story, no more shall I smile,
Wherever you went it was "heil," Heil", and "heil"
And when he was angry, he was all in a rage
And his name it began with an "aitch"

Now the height that he rose to was fearful,
When he came to the end of the climb,
Said a man in a voice that was tearful:
"He's having a 'heil' of a time."

(Chorus)
