Original lyrics
Oh, once there was a wicked, wicked man And Hamen was his name sir, He would have murdered all the Jews, Though they were not to blame sir CHORUS: Oh today, we'll merry, merry be Oh today, we'll merry, merry be Oh today, we'll merry, merry be And nash some hamentashen And Esther was the lovely queen Of King Ahasuerus, When Hamen said he'd kill us all, Oh my how he did scare us CHORUS But Mordecai her cousin bold, Said what a dreadfull chutzpah, If guns were but invented now This Hamen I would shoot sir CHORUS When Esther speaking to the King Of Hamens plot made mention, "Ha, ha" said he, " Oh no he won't. I'll spoil his bad intention." CHORUS The guest of honor he shall be This clever Mr. Smarty. And high above us he shall swing, At a little hanging party. CHORUS Of all his cruel and unkind ways, This little joke did cure him, And don't forget we owe him thanks, for this jolly feast of Purim. CHORUS
