LyricsLet’s Drink! There are no limits – free flowing wine We can’t account for what we might say Here everybody’s guzzling without end No obligations nothing to do It doesn’t matter if you’re not in the mood All the world over we’ll drink and we’ll fress At the feast where everybody drinks
LESTER’S BALLAD Did I really mess up the Megilla? Think I may be in over my head How is Esther gonna save the Jews if she’s not there? Cuz I made sure that Vashti isn’t dead.
Oh it’s upside down It’s all my fault- their fate rests on my shoulders All gone wrong, it’s up to me Pressure’s on, maybe tomorrow I can turn it over Don’t know how or what will be What will tomorrow bring? Let’s wait and see...
NO GARBAGE
(BIGSAN): O guys like us we can’t afford To ever look suspicious We’re subtle and we blend right in We never seem malicious
Soon the king we will assassinate Then the whole world will appreciate (BIGSAN): We’ll be famous- (SERESH): We will
be so great! (Both): And we don’t take no garbage!
BIGSAN: Now Vashti, she’s an evil queen SERESH: But we don’t need to hurt her BIGSAN: It’s him we’re after - when we’re through SERESH: We’ll get away with murder!
Both: Soon the king we will assassinate BIGSAN: All of Shushan will congratulate (Seresh): US! BIGSAN: We’ll be heroes- SERESH: all throughout the state! BIGSAN: What don’t we take? SERESH: No garbage!
BIGSAN: What’s that? Don’t take no___? SERESH: (scrambling) Garbage BIGSAN: Can’t hear you – take no___? SERESH: Garbage!
I AM EVIL
All my friends hate me That’s what I love Cuz im evil How dare they negate me? They think they’re above My evil I gave my last haircut (snip it) Long long ago When that signet ring is mine (the king’s?) Then the whole world will know (wow!) Evil is my game, so HaRasha is my name I’m Evil Yes I am evil
Don’t I look scary? (yikes!) Cruel and Unkind? I am evil (yes he’s evil) In the dictionary (websters) Evil’s defined As Meeeee! (yes that’s him) In the heat of the battle Long long ago (so long) This Jew saved my life Now his hold will not let go (no!) Can’t let this stand Cuz I am evil
Rap: History repeating Like Agag spared by Shaul (who?) My amalek blood is boiling I’m enslaved to this old fool (so true) Can’t they see
I’m mean and nasty Terrifying and all that I’m a bad-guy from my toes Up to the three points of my hat It’s who I am I am evil
I’m the flip side of hero A Villainous lad I am evil They should all quake in fear-oh I’m a scoundrel so bad That’s meee They are spread and divided (the Jews) MefuzarUmeforad Their baishamikdash still destroyed Been forsaken by their G-d Time for a plaaaaan (try some lots!) That is evil
UPSIDE DOWN
