4. A Wicked Wicked Man (Folktune)
Oh once there was a wicked, wicked man
And Haman was his name
He lied and lied about the Jews
Though they were not to blame.
Oh today we'll merry, merry be (3x)
And nosh some hamantashen.

And Esther was a lovely queen
Of King Ahashvarosh
When Haman said he'd hurt us all
Oh my how he did scare us.
Oh today we'll merry merry be (3x)
And nosh some hamantashen.

Esther had a cousin
And his name was Mordechai
He asked her, "Can you help us?"
And she said, "Of course, I'll try."
Oh today we'll merry, merry be (3x)
And nosh some hamantashen.

When Esther speaking to the king
Of Haman's plot made mention
"Ah hah, said he," oh no he won't
I'll spoil his bad intention."
Oh today we'll merry, merry be (3x)
And nosh some hamantashen.

In spite of Haman's awful plan
And the scare he gave us
Esther was so brave and strong
She knew just how to save us.
Oh today we'll merry, merry be (3x)
And nosh some hamantashen.

So Haman got his just desserts
And we had won the day
And Esther we will ne'er forget
And on this day we say:
Oh today we'll merry, merry be (3x)
And nosh some hamantashen.

6. My Hat it Had Three Corners
My Hat it had three corners
Three corners had my hat
And had it not three corners
It would not be my hat.

La covah sheli
Shalosh pinot
Shalosh pinot
La covah sheli.
Lool hayu lo shalosh pinot
Lo hayah zeh ha covah sheli.

7. Oh Esther Won't You Marry Me?
Oh Esther won't you marry me? (4x) (Or---Esther, you will marry me!)
