In Simple Twist of Fate, we hear the thoughts of Vashti,
Achashverosh and Haman as the King/Queen of the world and the simple twist of fate is all it takes.
(And we know how that ends for them, espcially Vashti and Haman).
It’s a fun song influenced by a wonderful film called Monsoon Weddding.
Enjoy!

Vashti:I am the Queen of the world.
Chorus:Lie on reeds – grapes with seeds.
Simple twist of fate is all you need.
Silk and lace – make a happy face.
Simple twist of fate is all it takes.
Vashti:I am the Queen of the world.
Chorus Wave to the crowds – blow a little kiss.
Simple twist of fate is hard to resist.
Silk and lace – make a happy face.
Simple twist of fate is all it takes.
Vashti:I like to dance.
I like to play.
Wear a nice sarong and you’ll
Vashti & Chorus:meet a nice man some day.
Vashti:I never do
the same thing twice.
