I Will Survive - a Purim Parody

I Will Survive - Purim Parody (Lyrics by Michael Smolash)

Esther:
First I was farmisht I was petrified.
Kept thinking I could never live through Haman’s genocide.
But then I spent so many nights sleepin’ with Achashverosh
As his new crush.
It was enough to make me blush!

Though some may say
I was harassed,
I just walked right up to the King after a wicked three-day fast.
And if you ask why the Torah would have included this strange book,
I’ll say the hidden hand of God was guiding every step I took!

Alright now go!
You’re history!
Like every Hitler
Who’d have us down on bended knee.
Weren’t you the one who
Tried to string up Mordechai?
(Esther & Mordechai:)
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no not I.
I will survive!
Oh as long as I have God above
I know I’ll stay alive!
And though it may have been extreme
That’s the story of Purim,
And I’ll survive.
I will survive!

Oy Vey!

(Disco Break)

Haman:
I gave all I had to trick and to terrify
Only to wind up on a gallows fifty cubits high.
And I spent ten thousand kikars just to pay off this stupid king.
But all that bling
Still couldn’t vanquish his new fling!

Mordechai:
Now Haman’s dead,
And we are free.
Cause Esther saved the Jews with blatant
Promiscuity.
And if a tyrant comes to try and
Wipe the Jews out one by one
Then we will rise up with a vengeance
Like we did in old Shushan!

All:
Alright now go!
You’re history!
Like every Hitler
Who’d have us down on bended knee.
Weren’t you the one who
Tried to string up Mordechai?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no not I.
I will survive!
Oh as long as I have God above
I know I’ll stay alive!
And though it may have been extreme
That’s the story of Purim,
And I’ll survive.
I will survive!

Esther: Oy!

All:
Alright now go!
You’re history!
Like every Hitler
Who’d have us down on bended knee.
Weren’t you the one who
Tried to string up Mordechai?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no not I.
I will survive!
Oh as long as I have God above
I know I’ll stay alive!
And though it may have been extreme
That’s how I celebrate Purim,
And I’ll survive! I will survive!
I will survive!
