Pre-Chorus 1: I wanted to like her Regal, glam with grandeur and Discerning wisdom A queen for all of Shushan’s fabulous folks Could I be? I said, “it feels like a dream,” Then she said to me Chorus 1: Hey, you don’t get the game that you play You’re cute, you seem nice But you don’t know the life of a royal, babe And you’re never, ever gonna Stay, and you’ll find all’s in complete disarray It takes courage and guts to Serve as queen to this motley scene so you Might as well just pack it up Verse 2: She seemed a child She’d be clueless when the king would get wild And buckle under pressure so mild Even with the court of Persia beguiled Prechorus 2: When she realizes the Jews are in trouble And finds out Haman’s plan She’ll run as far from this place as she can And leave her subjects behind There’s no doubt A queen she won’t be She’ll never be me // We’ll never be free Chorus 2: Hey, do I understand the words that you say Are you telling me you’re Jewish? How could you know the life of a royal, babe? Haman’s got it in for ya Wait, I’ve got a plan to save the day My uncle’s given me the playbook, so I must know the life of a royal, now Tell me everything I need to know Bridge: OK so write this down, Let’s take it from the top Around your finger, wrap the king For you he’ll go nonstop And what about his little stooge That creepy Haman guy Expose his lies, his plot to end My people ... hear their cry! You’ve got to play it icy cool, Dazzle them until your moment When you bring everything to light ‘Cause we’re all showgirls here, baby doll We hustle day and night So I say Final Chorus: You’re the one who’ll save the day You’ve got just what it takes And now you know the life of a royal, babe And you’ll never know another Hey, in good hands is Shushan’s fate (Shushan’s fate) My people will be saved ‘Cuz now I know the life of a royal, babe Wouldn’t have it any other way Pre-Outtro: (You’re the one who’ll save the day) Oh, I’m the one who’ll save the day (She’s the one who’ll save the day) Hey Vashti (She’s the one who’ll save the day) Thank you once again for kickstarting this party (You’re the one who’ll save the day) Outro: Thank you, Shushan for an unforgettable night We will see you next time Give it up for the players And the megillah And of course, Queen Vashti … (I love you, Esther) That's our show We love you so much Happy Purim!
