Subject: ADD: Once There Was a Wicked, Wicked Man (Purim) From: Joe Offer Date: 19 Dec 22 - 09:50 PM OH ONCE THERE WAS A WICKED, WICKED MAN... Traditional Purim Song, Composer Unknown Oh once there was a wicked wicked man, And Haman 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 nosh some hamentashen. And Esther was the lovely queen of King Achashverosh When Haman said he'd kill us all, Oh my how he did scare us. CHORUS But Mordechai her cousin bold Said: "What a dreadful chutzpah If guns were but invented now, This Haman I would shoot, Sir." CHORUS The Kalashnikover Rebbe: There is a machloichis (disagreement) whether or not this verse (*) really belongs in the girsa (version). A vast majority of posqim (Jewish legal authorities) leave it out. *When Esther speaking to the King Of Haman's 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.

Jerry & Bev Praver and others sang this seasonally appropriate song at our song circle this evening. They missed a verse or two, but I found it in a songbook. Fun song - they said they learned it as kids. |
