Shadrack (Fonograff Rework)

The story of Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego

There were three children from the land of Israel
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego
They took a little trip to the land of Babylon
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Nebudchanezzer was the King of Babylon
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego
They took a lot of gold and made an idol
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

And he told everybody
‽When you hear the music of the tromboneâ€
And he told everybody
‽When you hear the music of the clarinetâ€

And he told everybody
‽When you hear the music of the horn
Oh, you must fall down and worship the idolâ€
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

But the children of Israel would not bow down
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego
‽Couldn't fool me with no golden idolâ€
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

‽I said, you couldn't fool me with your golden idolâ€
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego
Oh, Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

So the king put the children in a fiery furnace
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego
Heaped on coals and red-hot brimstone
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Eleven times hotter, hotter than it ought to be
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego
Burned up the soldiers that the king had put there
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

But the Lord sent an Angel with the snow white wings
Down in the middle of the furnace
And talking to the children 'bout the power of Gospel
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Well, they couldn't find a hair on the head
Of Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego
Laughing and talking about the fire jumping around
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Oh, Nebudchanezzer When he saw the power of the Lord
And in the house of Babylon
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego, Abednego
