Me making a fool of myself infront of the synagogue congregation, which included my pediatrician and first grade teacher! This routine is for the Jewish holiday of Purim, in which we tell a story about a Jewish woman who became queen of Persia (without telling anyone she was Jewish) and then had to save all her people from a bad guy. Hence "Like a Persian," a parody to Madonna's "Like a Virgin." No actual Persians were harmed in the making of this video.
Here are the lyrics:
I was just a shayne madel
In the Jewish part of Sushan
The rabbis son was to be the one
But now those days are gone.
Like a Persian, Hey!
Gonna make Achasverosh mine
Like a Pe-e-ersian
No ketubah for dad to sign.
Woah oh oh oh, woah oh oh oh, woah oh oh
I won the beauty contest
Like Morty said Id do
He liked me best and he never guessed
That I was a Jew.
Change of scene:
Im the Queen
Got a throne
Yeah, and I wear a crown
Youd think this royal life
Would be free of strife
But somethins getting me down
Theres this shtunk in the government
Hes got it in for the Jews
(He wants to) wipe all Israel off the map,
Youve seen it on the news.
Now the King—
Heres the thing,
Its insane—he gives Haman free reign
And he drew a lot
Picked our execution date right out of a pot
So ready or not
Like a Persian, hey!,
Ill use Haman as a pawn
Like a Pe-e-e-rsian,
Palace parties from dusk till dawn!
