Purim, Purim by Lisa Baydush
Lyrics (with suggested movements)
(each verse builds on the previous verses)
CHORUS
Purim (snap), Purim (stamp 2x),
Purim (slap legs 4x), Purim (clap 2x)! (repeat)
In (snap), this tale (stamp 2x),
this crazy mixed up tale, there was a nice Jewish girl named Esther who became Persia’s queen!
(twirl and curtsy)
CHORUS
…a foolish king, Ahashverosh, (twirl fingers in circles near ears)
…a banished wife named Vashti, (hand to forehead,
look up at ceiling dramatically in an annoyed way)
…a wicked advisor, Haman, (hands behind back, lean forward
menacingly, make meanest face)
…a proud Jewish guy named Mordechai, (hands on hips,
shoulders back proudly, smile)
…plots and intrigues all around (make mask with fingers over eyes)
