Original lyrics
Purim's here, so let's raise cain Purim's come around again A holiday to sing and play, Hurrah, hurrah for Purim day. Oh Vashti was a beauty proud Who wouldn't cater to the crowd. To a royal summons she said "no," Her husband answered, "Out you go." Purim's here. . . Ahasuerus was a king quite swell Who didin't choose his friends too well, But luckily he chose a wife Whose cousin was to save his life. Purim's here. . . Esther gave the king her hand Which made her queen of all the land. A lovely lass in every way, She stars in every Purim play. Purim's here. . . That Mordechai a brain was he, He kept his head successfully. In fact he was so very bright He just had to come out right. Purim's here. . . Now Haman was a first-class heel Who thought he was a first-class "wheel". He built a gallows with a noose, But found he'd cooked his own fat goose. Purim's here. . . So every year we join and sing Of just how Mordechai did bring Real victory in every way To found a happy holiday. Purim's here. . .
