Horrible, Horrible Haman to the tune of “Little Bunny Foo Foo”
(Adapted by Sherrie Stohl with hand motions by Audrey Katz)
Horrible, horrible Haman was marching through Shushan
Making all the Jewish people bow down to him.
1. When along came Mordechai…
2. When along came Queen Esther…
3. When along came King Ahashverosh…
…and he/she said…
Horrible, horrible Haman, I don’t like to see you
Making all the Jewish people bow down to you!
I’ll give you three/two/one more chance(s) and if you don’t stop it,
I’ll turn you into a… HAMENTASCHEN!!! (gasp, scream)
Well the next day… (repeat with next character)
(After the verse with Ahashverosh, sing:)
Horrible, horrible Haman was marching through Shushan
Making all the Jewish people bow down to him.
When along came a good fairy… (ahhh! Sprinkle pixie dust in the air)
And she said…
Horrible, horrible Haman, I don’t like to see you
Making all the Jewish people bow down to you!
They gave you three chances and you didn’t stop,
so now I’m going to turn you into a HAMENTASCHEN!!! (gasp, scream)
(And because this is a Jewish good fairy, help me count in Hebrew… Echat! Shtayim! Shelosh!,
and now say the magic Hebrew word… POOF! Haman falls to the floor.)
The moral of the story is: Haman today, Hamentaschen tomorrow!
