Daniel
This is a song about a holy man, who lived in Persia, (now called Iran)
A governor who got in a fix, a victim of court politics
When Darius became the king
Of Persia, he demanded things
That raised him up above all gods and men
He issued a quite a stern decree
For thirty days all pray to me
Or perish in a dreadful lion's den
Or perish in a dreadful lion's den
(What he's sayin' is don't be prayin')
Faithful Daniel kept on praying
Soldiers took him prisoner saying
The king is mad and you're as good as dead
Unless perhaps the Lord of Zion
Can convince the fearsome lion
To spare you and eat vegetables instead
To spare you and eat vegetables instead
(It's quite valid, to dine on salad)
The Lion smiled quite sweetly
It's real nice of you to treat me
I'm so glad that you could visit me tonight
I see it's nearly dinner time
And steak tartare is quite sublime
I hope that you will join me for a bite
I hope that you will join me for a bite
Daniel said to the Lion
I don't feel roo much like dyin'
And I don't believe that eating me is wise
I serve the One of Holy Name
And hate to see you take the blame
For messing up his biblical surprise
For messing up his biblical surprise
(Don't ingest an honored guest)
The lion closed his fearsome jaws
Then placed his head upon his paws
And bowed before the prophet of the Lord
The Holy One who speaks through you
Is sacred to us Lions, too
And His command must never be ignored
And His command must never be ignored
(Do his bidding, we're not kidding)
In the morning King Darius
Feeling somewhat curious
And shouted through the rock that barred the door
And did the God whose praise you sang
Preserve you from the Lion's fang
Or are you in the beast's interior
Or are you in the beast's interior
(You're deserving of preserving)
Daniel called out from the chamber
Ha-Shem kept me from all danger
But do not fear, I'll always be your man
I'll serve the king most faithfully
But God is number one with me
You've got to have a prophet-sharing plan
You've got to have a prophet-sharing plan
God is number one with me
Get a prophet-sharing plan
A governor who got in a fix, a victim of court politics
When Darius became the king
Of Persia, he demanded things
That raised him up above all gods and men
He issued a quite a stern decree
For thirty days all pray to me
Or perish in a dreadful lion's den
Or perish in a dreadful lion's den
(What he's sayin' is don't be prayin')
Faithful Daniel kept on praying
Soldiers took him prisoner saying
The king is mad and you're as good as dead
Unless perhaps the Lord of Zion
Can convince the fearsome lion
To spare you and eat vegetables instead
To spare you and eat vegetables instead
(It's quite valid, to dine on salad)
The Lion smiled quite sweetly
It's real nice of you to treat me
I'm so glad that you could visit me tonight
I see it's nearly dinner time
And steak tartare is quite sublime
I hope that you will join me for a bite
I hope that you will join me for a bite

You've got to have a prophet-sharing plan
God is number one with me
Get a prophet-sharing plan
