Haman Remembrance
Why are there so many songs about Haman |
When we should be blotting his name? |
Haman's a villain -- the worst one in Shushan |
He made Mussolini look tame |
His childhood idols were all genecidal |
He'd kill on a brief passing whim |
But someday we'll blot out |
The Haman remembrance |
And stop dressing kids up like him |
Have we been half asleep |
And have we heard graggers? |
They're spinning around in my brain. |
We've tried to drown him out |
For thousands of years now |
And maybe gone kind of insane? |
We've heard it too many times to ignore it |
In parodies tasteless and flat |
But someday we'll blot out |
The Haman remembrance |
And stop baking treats like his hat |
Lai da dai dai da dai dai . . . |
