Spoken:
So they wake me up in the middle of the night. The king needs a stablehand at 3AM? I'm none to happy about it, until I find out what it's for. That nasty Haman is going to get humiliated! Oooh, here he comes now. I'd better get the king's favorite horse ready!

[Sung:]
Hey there! Hey there, Haman!
Time to turn the tables though it seems unkind.
You'll walk the streets of Shushan with that horse behind!
Try to hide your burnin' shame.
Take the reins as you proclaim:

Kakha! Kakha!
Thus shall it be done for the one whom the king wants to honor!
Praises and glory to Mordechai the Jew!
Kakha! Kakha!
Thus shall it be done!

Hey there! Hey there, Horsie!
Dressed in finest linen from your head to tail,
Haman tries to hustle you, to no avail.
Strut your stuff all over town.
Haman shouts it up and down:

Kakha! Kakha!
Thus shall it be done for the one whom the king wants to honor!
Praises and glory to Mordechai the Jew!
Kakha! Kakha!
Thus shall it be done!

Hey there! Haman's daughter!
Sitting in her windowsill above the square (Hi there!)
She's watching the commotion in the thoroughfare.
Haman's looking hot and bothered.
(Gasp!)
She dumped her chamberpot!
He hollered:

Kakha! Kakha!
Thus shall it be done for the one whom the king wants to honor!
Praises and glory to Mordechai the Jew!
Kakha! Kakha!
Thus shall it be done!
