Purim 2020 Musical Extravaganza
I do my hair toss, check my nails
Baby how you feelin’?
(Feelin' tov me'od)…
Woo child, tired of the chazerai
Won’t take my clothes off,
time to say bye-bye
No, King, I ain’t gonna do this
Been there, done that,
can’t obey your edict
In front of all those eyes
Wearin’ just my crown,
naked ‘neath the sky
What you are asking
makes me want to cry
So if you need advice,
let your courtiers try
‘Cause I don't love you anymore
Gonna walk my tuchas out the doorI do my hair toss, check my nails
Baby how you feelin’?
(Feelin' tov me’od)…
Woo girl, need to kick off my shoes
Got to take a deep breath,
time to focus on you
All the big fights, long nights
that I been through
I got a bottle of tequila
I been saving for you
Boss up and change my life
I can have it all, no sacrifice
The king he did me wrong,
I can make it right
Gonna walk out of the castle tonight
‘Cause I don't love you anymore
Gonna walk my tuchas out the door
I do my hair toss, check my nails
Baby how you feelin’?
(Feelin' tov me'od)…
Our King is full of passion
And he cannot be displeased
The guards are catchin’ girls
from every pit and backroom
Bringing in the virgins
with the greatest of ease
Every girl gets her own palace locale
And if a man should sneak in,
then it's all over pal
Before they see the King,
they get perfume and oil and myrrh
They're gonna get makeup…
Hegai! you listen close to me.
Don’t let them out!
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hegai! don’t be disrespecting me.
Don’t let them out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hegai! watch the concubines
When they go in to the King,
make sure they’ve hit their prime
Hegai! don’t let them stray!They’ll bring you to the harem
Then it’s a question of fate
To get inside you gotta’ be a girl
Then they take you through the palace gate.
Every girl’s different
than the thousand before
And Hegai’s got records,
man he’s keeping the score
A never ending stream
of ladies come through the door
They’re gonna show it all off…
Hegai! you listen close to me…
Every girl is treated like the thousand before
After one night with the King,
off to the harem next door
And there you’ll sit and wait,
and hope he calls you back
You are a concubine…
Hegai! you listen close to me…

Picture yourself on a horse in the city,
an ivory steed of magnificent size.
Thousands of people line up at the curbstones
to cheer as they watch you pass by.
Your robe is an ocean of purple and gold
a golden crown rests on your head
You smile at the crowd
with a wave of your hand and they sing:
Who’s he on that ride? Admire him!
Who’s he on that ride? Admire him!
Who’s he on that ride? Admire him!
Ahh….
Stately he trots down
the highways and bi-ways,
a fine royal stallion, sixteen hands high.
Leading you on is a prince of the kingdom
who shouts to the folks on each side:
“Here’s what the king does
for people he likes!”
he calls out as you ride along.
The cheering gets louder
and everyone’s singing this song:
Who’s he on that ride? Admire him!…
This is precisely
what you ought to do
for someone who’s earned
your respect and esteem!
Put him on horseback
and dress him in purple,
‘Cause I think I know who you mean…
Who’s he on that ride? Admire him!…
That's great, it starts with a party cake,
A half year of stayin’ up late
for one hundred twenty seven states.
