Second Fiddle
Te-re-te-re-re-na
Da-da-du-du-da
Te-re-te-re-re-na
The angels got together in the great throne room
Thought they'd pass some time by pickin' a tune
Michael on guitar, Raphael on mandolin
And Gabe was the leader on the old violin
I think it was an elder said, "What you gonna play
Amazing Grace or how 'bout Happy Day"?
The strings were all tuned, and they were tappin' their feet
But just when they were ready to play the first beat
God walked through the door, and a hush filled the air
Gabriel put down his bow and moved down to second chair
It's not a bill that's up to be voted on
It became a law when He wrote it in stone
Number one in the list of his big ten
He came to earth, he said it again
It's been the same way since the beginning of time
Don't be fooled into thinking that it's not a crime
He made it plain and clear, it's not a rhyme or a riddle, no-no
God don't play second fiddle
I once knew a man who was climbin' the ladder
His portfolio was all that mattered
He made lots of cash, didn't give much away
His very best friend was his CPA, a beautiful wife, two girls, and a boy
But his IRA was his pride and joy
His own net worth became divine
At the altar of his bottom line (ahh)
Then, the market turned and his bank account ran dry
Betrayed by his money god, he just hung his head and cried
It's not a bill that's up to be voted on
It became a law when He wrote it in stone
Number one in the list of his big ten
He came to earth, he said it again
It's been the same way since the beginning of time
Don't be fooled into thinking that it's not a crime
He made it plain and clear, it's not a rhyme or a riddle, oh no
God don't play second fiddle
No compromise, no way that, he'll concede
(No compromise, no way that, he'll concede)
If He's gonna play at all (if He's gonna play at all)
It's just got to be the lead
So, let him play, let him play
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
It's not a bill that's up to be voted on
It became a law when He wrote it in stone
Number one in the list of his big ten
He came to earth, he said it again
It's been the same way since the beginning of time
Don't be fooled into thinking that it's not a crime (don't be fooled)
He made it plain and clear, it's not a rhyme or a riddle
God don't play
God don't play second fiddle
Oh, oh!
Da-da-du-du-da
