Subject: More for Purim just a little song to go with the hamentashen. The Purim story has everything - sex, violence, romance - everything but A cheezy soundtrack. To fix that one problem, here is the famous story put to the tune of the Barry Manilow classic "Copa Cabana" Her name was Vashti, she was his show girl She was the jewel in his crown, even though he got around His royal highness, drunk at his party Told her to bare it all, but she wouldn't heed his call Didn't like what she said, honor cost her her head The point of this all being that the king re-wed Back in Shushan, Shushan on Purim Monarchs weren't much for decorum In Shushan, Shushan on Purim The king's every passion, was always the fashion Back in Shushan, he axed his love Her name was Esther, she was of our tribe With help from Uncle Mordecai, she gave being queen a try Went to the pageant, king looked her over And Esther was so fair, that the others had no prayer He told his chaimberlain, no need to look again And took her back to palace right there and then Back in Shushan, Shushan on Purim The King found someone to adore him In Shushan, Shushan on Purim Days full of bliss, with a lovely Jewess Back in Shushan, he fell in love His name was Haman, he was quite evil He was the king's right-hand man, and he hatched a deadly plan Talked to the king and, he won him over There's some people who won't bow, must get rid of them right now And when he sold his lie, planned to hang Mordecai And drew lots for the day that we all would die Back in Shushan, Shushan on Purim We didn't get much of a forum In Shushan, Shushan on Purim Haman's evil scheming soon could be leading To Shushan, drenched in our blood..... Shushan on Purim, Shushan on Purim..... Her uncle told her, she was our last chance She would have to see the king, and tell him everything But Achashverous, was no New-Ager If his sceptre wasn't out, she was through no doubt But the king loved her so, to dinner he would go And the tables would turn on Haman now Ach was in the know Back in Shushan, Shushan on Purim Haman built gallows used for him In Shushan, Shushan on Purim Esther saved us all when she answered our call Back in Shushan, thank G-d for love.
