Parody Lyrics:

We Don’t Talk about Haman
HamEncanto The Purim Shpiel 2022

Avi : What if I don’t understand what the spiel is about?

Lucy : Well… all I know is that we have to yell “Booooo” when we hear the name HAMAN!!!

Song Starts:
Cantor Weiss
[We don't talk about Haman, no, no, no, no
We don't talk about Haman

Lucy and Avi : Why!?!

Cantor Weiss
It was Queen’s contest day…

[Jaclyn:]
It was queen’s Contest Day…

Cantor Weiss
Girls getting ready
And the King told Queen Vashti goodbye

[Jacyln:]
King told Queen Vashti “Goodbye!”

Cantor Weiss
Esther walks in to the King with a grin…

[Jaclyn:]
DRAMA!

Cantor Weiss
You're telling the story or am I?

[Jaclyn:]
I'm sorry, mi Hazzan, go on

Cantor Weiss
Esther wins the Beauty Games…

[Jaclyn:]
When did she tell him? (Graphic “SHE’S JEWISH stamp)

Cantor Weiss
In doing so, she takes the reigns

[Jaclyn:]
MEGILLAH-NOVELLA! (Graphic: like a telenovela)

Cantor Weiss
Jewish blood ran through her veins

[Jaclyn:]
What a secret she kept, anyway

Cantor Weiss and Rabbi Cohen
We don't talk about Haman, no, no, no
We don't talk about Haman

Mordechai:
Hey! Jews would live in fear of Haman stuttering or stumbling
We could always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling
I associate him with the sound of Groggers and …, Boo, boo,boo
It’s a heavy lift, to be the one left standing
Started saying no to all the King’s demanding
Living with realities under Haman’s command

Lucy to Avi - Do you understand?

Haman: (Rabbi Jonathan Aaron)
Ya, You know my name, I’m here to kill the Jews
I’ll make history, my name they will boo
Hope my scheme’s not foiled by some clever Jew
Kids…(Hey)

ALL CLERGY:
We don't talk about Haman, no, no, no


Cantor Weiss
No, no

Rabbi Cohen
We don't talk about Haman

[Background Vocals only:]
We don't talk about Haman
___________________________________________________________________________
[ADAM as Townsperson 1:]
He told me my life would end… the next day… (With a wink).. NOT DEAD!

[Ensemble:] (As if they won’t bow down)
No, no

[Dara) (Townsperson 2)
He told me my life was smut and I would be Dead!

[Ensemble:]
No, no

[Jaclyn as Townsperson 3 :]
He said that all the Jews would disappear, but in Megillah we read…

[Ensemble:]
Hey!
No, no


ALL (Or just Lizzie/Jaclyn)
Our fate was sealed, in Megillah it was read!
___________________________________________________

(Esther) Cantor Weiss
Mordy told me that the life of our dreams
Would be taken away from the Jews
He told me that the chance to survive
Was on me, or our future we’d lose

ALL CLERGY
Oy vey it’s almost time to play

VASHTI:(Rabbi Cohen)
I don’t get why I don’t get more credit …
My story, they preach,
Told to one another

Rabbi Cohen
It's like I hear him, now

Cantor Weiss
Hey Kids , I want not a sound out of you

Rabbi Cohen
It's like I can hear him now, I can hear him now
______________________________________________________
[Lucy and Avi]
Um, Haman
Yeah, about that Haman
We really need to hear the name Haman

Lucy
Give us the chance and the whole chance, Please

CLERGY
(Okay kiddos, your moment’s here!)

ALL with Kids
Time for Groggers!!!!
