Happy Purim!
Chag Purim
In the Window
Wicked, Wicked Man
My Hat, It Has Three Corners
Lyrics
My - point to self
Hat - point to head
Three - hold up three fingers
Corners - point to your bent elbow
My hat, it has three corners.
Three corners has my hat.
If my hat had not three corners,
It would not be my hat.
Repeat, leaving out the word hat, substituting the hand motion.
Repeat, leaving out the words hat and three, substituting hand motions.
Etc. You get the idea. By the end of the song, it is mostly humming & pointing.
Chag Purim

Hava narishah - rash, rash, rash,
Bara'ashanim.
Translation:
FESTIVAL OF PURIM
Purim time
Purim time
A big festival for the Jewish people
Masks, noisemakers
songs and dances.
Wind your noisemakers - it sounds like "rash rash rash"
Purim time
Purim time
we send gifts to one another
Treats, sweets
and other nice things.
Wind your noisemakers - it sounds like "rash rash rash"
Oh, once there was a wicked, wicked man
And Hamen was his name sir,
He would have murdered all the Jews,
Though they were not to blame sir
CHORUS:
Oh today, we'll merry, merry be
Oh today, we'll merry, merry be
Oh today, we'll merry, merry be
And nash some hamentashen
And Esther was the lovely queen
Of King Ahasuerus,
When Hamen said he'd kill us all,
Oh my how he did scare us
CHORUS
But Mordecai her cousin bold,
Said what a dreadfull chutzpah,
If guns were but invented now
This Hamen I would shoot sir
CHORUS
When Esther speaking to the King
Of Hamens plot made mention,
"Ha, ha" said he, " Oh no he won't.
I'll spoil his bad intention."
CHORUS
The guest of honor he shall be
This clever Mr. Smarty.
And high above us he shall swing,
At a little hanging party.
CHORUS
Of all his cruel and unkind ways,
This little joke did cure him,
And don't forget we owe him thanks,
for this jolly feast of Purim.
CHORUS
