Desperate Queen
Parody of "Dancing Queen" by ABBA
(Esther 2:5-18, 3:8-15, 4:1-5:8, 7:1-10)
You can stand – You can fight
Rather than hide all your life
See that girl -- Watch what she
Did as a desperate queen
Mordecai was a nice fellow
Looking after an orphan girl
In the Persian town Susa
Never did he think
She'd come to meet the king
Esther was a beauty, that's right
Nice and young and a cutie pie
And the lady was Jewish
And they were despised
Their enemies had plans
And then she'd get the chance
To become a hand-picked queen
From the streets – oh, it's heavenly
Handpicked queen
She'll be free from the tyranny
Oh yeah
You can stand – You can fight
Rather than hide all your life
See that girl -- Watch what she
Did as a desperate queen
Sure, it's easy to turn and run
Leave the work to another one
Looking out for your brother
When you are a Jew
Sure is a brutal task
But when you get the chance
You ought to stand and be
Unafraid of your destiny
Esther – she'd
Feel the heat from the enemy, oh yeah!
You can stand – You can fight
Rather than hide all your life
See that girl -- Watch what she
Did as a desperate queen
Did as a desperate queen
