Whether you are nursing a hangover from last night, or your ears are still ringing from the sound of the groggers, or you're getting ready to enjoy our Religious School's annual Purim Carnival, here is one more Purim Song for your listening pleasure, courtesy of the Maccabeats:

If the melody sounds familiar, it's because this one is also based on Jewish pop star Pink's song, "Raise Your Glass," just like yesterday evening's post. And here are the write-up and lyrics:

Lyrics to the song:
Stand stand for a tale so grand
Shushan is the place where it all began
The hidden miracle
One man, second in command
Slay all the Jews was his wicked plan
A scheme so miserable
He chose a day for the disaster
It's ironic what came after
He didn't know a girl named Esther
Would turn it upside down
So raise your glass if you can see the hidden meaning,
it's right in front of you,
we will never be never be anything but proud to tell the story,
v'nahafoch hu (It was turned upside down)
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass
just come on and come on and raise your glass
Esther became the queen
Cuz' God was pulling strings from behind the scenes
She wore the royal crown
3 days the Jews just prayed,
Queen Esther risked her life went to save the day
She took Haman down
The streets were filled with celebration
Everyone ate Hamantashen
Jubilation for the nation
Ken tihiyeh lanu... (So should it be for us)
So raise your glass if you can see, the hidden meaning,
it's right in front of you,
we will never be never be anything but proud to tell the story,
v'nahafoch hu
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass
just come on and come on and raise your glass
So get your costumes on
Make noise and drown out Haman
Don't drink like a fool
And remember and remember
What the day's about...
So raise your glass if you see God in hidden places,
He's right in front of you,
We will never be never be anything but proud to tell our story
v'nahafoch hu
So raise your glass if you can see the hidden meaning,
it's right in front of you,
we will never be never be anything but proud to tell the story,
v'nahafoch hu
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass
just come on and come on and raise your glass...
