So who's that girl who named herself
Esther?
You'll see her records on the shelf
Esther!

Madonna used to be a star
And good
But there's just a ray of light
In her fast-fading career
She won't give up, she will fight
And her strategy is
"Esther"

Well she does not have like a prayer
Esther
Sales of her music will be rare
Esther

You tried to rap and
Everyone complained
You think you're in - to the groove
It's more like you're in a ditch
You cannot win, you must move
On, not change your name to Esther

Out of vogue
And over the hill
Reigned in eighties
Can't do it still

Well you did a duet last year
With Britney Spears
It hurt my ears

And now things are too weird
Esther? Esther?

Won't cry for you
You were on top
Esther
But now it's time for you stop
Esther

I know the Billboard charts were your playground
But you're too big for the swings
And the young kids want a turn
So now you've tried renaming
But we won't be fond of Esther

This change has no reason or rhyme
Change yourself back, there still is time

Esther

You tried to rap and
Everyone complained
You think you're in - to the groove
It's more like you're in a ditch
You cannot win, you must move
On, not change your name to Esther

Esther, Esther
Why are you called
Esther?
