1. She Said No!

   Based on Chapter 1 of the Book of Esther

   Without her gown, He summoned her down
   Said it was his right, As a man with a crown
   He was obsessed; She should be undressed
   Vashti refused to be, a woman oppressed.

   CHORUS:
   She said “no” to the king,
   She said “no” to the king,
   She said “no-no-no-no-no-no-no”
   She said “no” to the king!
