Purim Parody - "Booed" Set to "Rude" by Magic!

Hey everyone, working hard on some new songs and also excited about attending my first Hava Nashira at the end of May! Anyway, since the holiday of Purim is coming up I wanted to share a video of me singing an original parody I wrote at 2016 Songleader Boot Camp. It is set to the song "Rude" by Magic! and is the only proper time I will allow someone to boo at my performance. Here are the lyrics below, hope you all enjoy!

BOOED - Set to RUDE by Magic!
Purim is coming that is the deal, I put on my costume
Eat hamentaschen, put on a shpiel. The story I'll tell you.
Vashti is gone, now Esther's the queen to king achashverosh
But then you got Haman he is real mean

Can you count the corners of his really big hat
There's one, there's two, and there's 3 of them.
He wanted everyone to bow to him when he was around
But Mordechai said the answer is no!

Haman's always getting booed, he is just a real mean dude
He better change his attitude, til then I'll eat hamentaschen
Hamentaschen, chocolate and apricot
Hamentaschen, lemon and strawberry
Hamentaschen, poppy and raspberry
Haman's always getting booed!

When Mordechai learned of Haman's plot, he went to tell Esther
To pick the day Haman cast a lot. In Hebrew, that's "Purim".
Esther could run away, but she chose instead to tell the king
She would wait 3 days, and then she told him everything


Can you count the corners of his really big hat

There's one, there's two, and there's 3 of them.
He wanted everyone to bow to him when he was around
But Mordechai said the answer is no!

Haman's always getting booed, he is just a real mean dude
He better change his attitude, til then I'll eat hamentaschen
Hamentaschen, chocolate and apricot
Hamentaschen, lemon and strawberry
Hamentaschen, poppy and raspberry
Haman's always getting booed!

Haman's always getting booed, he is just a real mean dude

He better change his attitude, til then I'll eat hamentaschen
Hamentaschen, chocolate and apricot
Hamentaschen, lemon and strawberry
Hamentaschen, poppy and raspberry
Haman's always getting booed!
