A Purim parade, a Purim parade
We'll march along together in a Purim parade
A Purim parade, a Purim parade
We'll march along in merry masquerade.

We'll tell a tale about brave Esther
And then there's Mordechai, two heroes of the Jewish people
Ahashveros, King of Persia
And there's Haman
Turn your grogger, turn your grogger
He's an evil man. Chorus

We'll have a purimspiel and carnival
We'll offer gifts of gladness, read the scroll of Esther
Feast on hamentaschen shaped just like the hat of Haman
Turn your grogger, turn your grogger
He's an evil man. Chorus

The Purim story gives us courage
In times of trouble we must help each other keep our people
Safe and strong, protected from the likes of Haman
Turn your grogger, turn your grogger
He's an evil man.

Last chorus:
A Purim parade, a Purim parade
We'll march along together in a Purim parade
A Purim parade, a Purim parade
We'll march along in merry
Yes we'll be so very merry
Oh we'll march along in merry masquerade.
