This story, it’s been told
Bout a party, the king throwed
Step back, the old books said
Keep it kosher, this ain’t our place

Gold cups, fine threads
Seven days up in the city
Get the queen here, the drunk king said
Gotta show her off, she so pretty

I will not! (oy vey), said Vashti to the King Man
She said what? (oy vey), Achashveirosh asked his wise men
She cannot! (oy vey), dis the man, this will kill the plan
Take her out (oy vey), take the crown back, keep her money
Break it down…..

Girls forced to come from all towns (whuoo)
Esther picked to wear the big crown (whuoo)
Haman wants to take the Jews down (whuoo)
‘Da Shushan Funk gon’ bring it to you
‘Da Shushan Funk gon’ bring it to you
‘Da Shushan Funk gon’ bring it to you
It’s Purim tonight cuz we won the fight
Mordechai said just watch (come on)
Mordechai said just watch
Mordechai said just watch
Mordechai said just watch, Mordechai said just watch, Mordechai said just watch
Hey, hey, hey, oh!

Stop…… wait a minute
Stop that lunch, there’s some poison in it
Call the queen, stop the plan
Mordechai! Gets the creds!
Meanwhile from Kush town, to Hodu
And back to Shushan city
Haman shows up, everyone bows down
But Mordechai, AIN’T no sissy

I will NOT (oy vey), bow down to… that evil man
Say WHAT? (oy vey), said Haman, the king’s main man
You know what (oy vey) (oy vey), dude, bow your head or your peoples’ dead
We cannot (oy vey), we don’t bow down for nobody
Break it down

News travels outta Shushan (whuoo)
Haman vows to take the Jews down (whuoo)
Gallows hanging high in mid-town (whuoo)
‘Da Shushan Funk gon’ bring it to you
‘Da Shushan Funk gon’ bring it to you
‘Da Shushan Funk gon’ bring it to you
It’s Purim tonight cuz we won the fight
Mordechai said just watch (come on)
Mordechai said just watch
Mordechai said just watch, Mordechai said just watch, Mordechai said just watch, Mordechai said just watch
Hey, hey, hey, oh!

Before we leave
Im’a tell y’all a lil story
Queen Esther stepped it up, to mess that Haman up
King Achashverosh… said stand up, and back your people up
13th of ADAR turned right side up, and Haman got hanged up
From near destruction… we rose up, Hashem did lift us up

So, dance on Purim
And celebrate this great story
Hashem protected His glory
If you feel abandoned, DON’T worry!
Come on, dance
On Purim
And celebrate this great story
Well it’s Purim tonight, Cuz we won the fight
Mordechai said just watch
Mordechai said just watch
Mordechai said just watch, Mordechai said just watch, Mordechai said just watch, Mordechai said just watch

Purim, dance it up; Simcha, that’s what’s up! (say whaa?!)
Shaloch Manos, pack ’em up. Friendships, that’s what’s up!
Crazy costumes, that’s what‘s up; themes for dressing up (say whaa?!)
Matanos La’Evyonim, Cheer ’em up. Tzedaka, that’s what’s up!
Mishte Ve’Simcha that’s what’s up, to keep the spirits up! (say whaa?!)
Purim, dance it up. Simcha, that’s what’s up!

Shushan, Funk it up.
