Apologetix Xerxes' Song Lyrics

I miss my spiffy queen -- do you know who I mean?
This specific queen -- rebuffed me as her king
We signed a law evictin' her -- ‘cause that's the Media-Persia way
I need to date some ladies -- my former missus can't be queen
You know she wouldn't answer -- she ruined a banquet of mine
If all the rest of them dudes' wives had ever heard this
Boy, I bet they'd start to act less feminine

Yes, I seek a queen -- ‘cause the old one defied me
This insipid queen -- it cost her everything This lady, Queen Vashti -- would not receive commands
You know that I told her -- "Now you can pound sand"
The queen was lookin' pretty -- but I can't let that slide
Now I'm just a sad dude with a million girlfriends
I'm a big important guy with wounded pride

You know, they brought me Esther
She proved better, oh my
Than the rest of them blue-blooded, fancy-haired chicks
All of Media-Persia now must get in line
Heyyyy, yes, I've picked a queen
