[Verse 1]
We’re just learning at our tables
Sefarim open
Heads all down
Teacher turning one more page
Same four walls
Same old sound
Then your phone buzz in your pocket
You read one secret line
“On the word ‘Simchah’ everybody
Stand and hit the time”

[Chorus]
Purim in the beit midrash (hey!)
Spin it like a sevivon
From the chumash to the costumes
We’re dancing till the test is gone
Hands up
Sisters
Hallel high
Laughing as we jump in line
Purim in the beit midrash (hey!)
Hidden joy revealed in time

[Verse 2]
One girl starts a quiet two-step
By the lockers
Near the door
Another drops a bright tiara
On the squeaky classroom floor
When the rabbi reads “v’nahafoch hu”
Chairs push back in sync
Sudden chorus in the hallway
“L’chaim!” cups of grape drink

[Chorus]
Purim in the beit midrash (hey!)
Spin it like a sevivon
From the chumash to the costumes
We’re dancing till the test is gone
Hands up
Sisters
Hallel high
Laughing as we jump in line
Purim in the beit midrash (hey!)
Hidden joy revealed in time

[Bridge]
[Music drops to claps and stomps]
Clap-clap
Step-step
“Baruch Mordechai!” we shout
Spin-skirt
Mask-slip
All the stress just melts right out
Whirl of wigs and bright bandanas
Megillah echo in the hall
For a minute
For a moment
We’re one heart
One wall

[Chorus]
Purim in the beit midrash (hey!)
Spin it like a sevivon
From the chumash to the costumes
We’re dancing till the test is gone
Hands up
Sisters
Hallel high
Laughing as we jump in line
Purim in the beit midrash (hey!)
Hidden joy revealed in time
