A Palace Celebration
All hail King Xerxes!
All rise and sing!
Your name we honor -
Our God and King!
I am King Xerxes!
I rule these lands!
This is my banquet,
My palace grand!
I rule with might and power
In Persia and in Medea!
All lands from India to Ethiopia!
All hail King Xerxes!
All rise and sing!
Your name we honor -
Our God and King!
All hail King Xerxes!
All rise and sing!
Your name we honor -
Our God and King!
There's no one greater than Xerxes
Do as I say:
Go get my wife and she will dance for us today!
Go get my wife and she will dance for us today!
The king has requested your presence today
To dance at his banquet in royal array
You must come at once and your crown you must bring
For there's no other god but our king!
The king has lost his mind
If he thinks that I'll parade myself before their drunken eyes!
That's no way to treat your queen.
Yes, it does seem obscene,
But there's no other god but our king.
If you are refusing to do as he says
You risk your position,
You could lose your head.
Why choose to defy him?
Just what will he think?
You know there's no other god but our king.
There's no other god but our King!
She says she will not go!
She disobeys!
She must be punished!
This will bring you great shame!
I am Xerxes!
I am your god and king! (All hail King Xerxes!)
All rise and sing!
Your name we honor -
Our God and King!
I am King Xerxes!
I rule these lands!
This is my banquet,
My palace grand!
I rule with might and power
In Persia and in Medea!
All lands from India to Ethiopia!
All hail King Xerxes!
All rise and sing!
Your name we honor -
Our God and King!
All hail King Xerxes!
All rise and sing!
Your name we honor -
Our God and King!
There's no one greater than Xerxes
Do as I say:
Go get my wife and she will dance for us today!
Go get my wife and she will dance for us today!
The king has requested your presence today
To dance at his banquet in royal array
You must come at once and your crown you must bring
For there's no other god but our king!
The king has lost his mind
If he thinks that I'll parade myself before their drunken eyes!
That's no way to treat your queen.
Yes, it does seem obscene,
But there's no other god but our king.
If you are refusing to do as he says
You risk your position,
You could lose your head.
Why choose to defy him?
Just what will he think?
You know there's no other god but our king.
There's no other god but our King!
She says she will not go!
She disobeys!
She must be punished!
This will bring you great shame!
I am Xerxes!
I am your god and king! (All hail King Xerxes!)
