Purim is here so break out the beer, though don't get too bleary eyed 'cause we must go
off to the synagogue we'll dream of cold eggnog gunpowder in the air cap-guns everywhere
Here is the story now Listen and you'll learn how all of this happened then and it could again.
Mor-De-Chai was li-vid 'cause the Jews, they just ignored him, they went to the feast and poured 'em Vashti lost her royal head and Esther she was picked instead to be the queen what a scene! she was sent to save the day.
Haman and he decided to be- come partners, you see to kill us was their goal
but when those two ingrates planned to assassinate King Achashverosh their plot was quickly nixed
Esther said "Mordechai Why do you sit and cry?" He said "I'll tell ya why, You've got what to fix!"
And-then-Mor-de-chai said "People we are in a pickle we're not worth a wooden nickel We had better think again and cry a little to Hashem. 'Cause it's no joke we will croak if that rasha has his way!"
Haman the blighted he was invited. He was delighted but it was a lure
Leave it to Mordechai, he was a feisty guy. He wouldn't ever bow Haman had a cow.
He built a gallows high special for Mordechai he never thought that he'd be up on that tree.
Ach-ash-verosh could-not sleep. They read a bedtime story all about his days of glory. Mordechai was not rewarded "Who is here?" the king retorted Haman came he was shamed "Just look out for chamber pots."
We fought and won and ev-er-y son was taken and strung up with their dad up there.
Then all the Jews said "Hey, let's make a holiday. We'll call it Purim 'cause we've been through a "lots"!
Presents we'll give and take Hamen-tashen we'll bake from work we'll take a break drink until we plotz."
So-now-Pur-im-is-a time to think about Hashem who saves us from each mess we're in and let it never come again and maybe if we'll all be friends we'll pass the test and be blessed. Now let's drink some Purim wine!
