Haman's Song #1 - sung to Poor, Poor Pitiful me!
Ken Klein
Well, I met a man by the palace gates
Said his name was Mordechai
"Bow down low," I commanded him
'Cause I'm the Prime Minister guy!
"Bow down low," I commanded him
You could see that he abhorred me!
The cat put me down, just gave me a grin
And then he just ignored me!
Chorus:
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Woe! These Jews won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe! Let me be!
So I told my wife and she said to me
She said, "Haman," man, she was vocal
If Mordechai gets away with this
Folks'll know you're just a yokel
If Mordechai gets away with this
You'll ruin our social chances
If you lose respect, there'll be no more graft
And there goes our whole finances!
Chorus:
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Woe! These Jews won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe! Let me be!
Now I'm ridding Persia of all the Jews
It goin' exactly as I planned it
'Cause once the king signs his royal seal
It's too late to countermand it
Yes, once the king signs his royal seal
Mordechai'll never get me!
Yes, I'll bring him down, bring him down so low
He'll wish he'd never met me!
Chorus:
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Woe! These Jews won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe! Let me be!
Sure I'm feelin' bad 'bout the things I've done
But I guess I just gotta be tougher
'Cause you know that when you're a sensitive guy
It's your fate that you gotta suffer
'Cause you know that when you're a sensitive guy
You feel guilty if you've tricked 'em
Now ev'ryone's feelin' bad for the Jews
Can't they see that I'm the victim!
Chorus:
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Woe! These Jews won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe! Let me be!
