Achashvarosh to Esther & Haman - sung to That's Entertainment!
Ken Klein

Haman, its clear! Power has gone to your head!
Kill the Jews! Yeah, I want 'em all dead!
Now you claim, that is not what you said
Haman, you're hist'ry

I didn't know the evil you planned to do
Reacted slow, was taken in by you too
Went with the flow, but then what else is new?
Haman, you're hist'ry

Since the days of Zoroaster
Never such a PR disaster
Still Haman, I'm hearing your plea
But if I excuse your sedition
In view of your contrition
They're liable to blame it on me!

Oh! (sung) Oh! (spoken reflectively)

Sure the crowd's
Shouting "Off with his head"
And right now
Your future fills you with dread
Somewhere, someday
We'll all be laughing instead
It's not as bad as all that
Immortal three-cornered hat
Haman, you're hist'ry
