A very, very long time ago
There once was a king that I know.

Chorus:
A silly, silly king
A dilly, dilly king,
Oh, tell me what was his name,
Oh, Achashverosh, Achashverosh, Achashverosh.

His palace was in Sushan town
He always loved to wear his crown.

Chorus

He loved to dance and sing
He loved to eat and drink.

Chorus

He asked his Queen Vashti
Won’t you come to my party.

Chorus

She said no thank you kindly
I’m tired of dancing nightly.

Chorus

He said then go now and leave me
I’ll find another who will please me.

Chorus

But now he sits on his throne
No one to talk to he’s alone.

Chorus
