SONG:  ALL THAT JAZZ
Female Chorus

Come on guys,
And join the latest craze,
And all that schmaltz.

It’s the king’s soiree,
And we will party for days,
And all that schmaltz.

In Shusham
You’ll want to remain
‘Cause Ahasuerus
Likes to entertain.

There’ll be lots of wine,
The food is sublime,
And all that schmaltz.

Every prince
Will come from afar,
And all that schmaltz.

To eat and drink
And smoke big cigars,
And all that schmaltz.

The castle will be aglow with lights,
It won’t stop for many nights.

And you need not fear
Cause Vashti will appear
Wearing her……
Schmaltz

You’ll be in a trance
At such elegance,
And all that schmaltz.
