| There was three children from the land of Israel
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| They took a little trip to the land of Babylon
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| Nebuchadnezzer was the king of Babylon
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| He took a lot of gold, and made an idol
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| And he told everybody «when you hear the music of the trombone»
|
| And he told everybody «when you hear the music of the clarinet»
|
| And he told everybody «when you hear the music of the horn»
|
| You must fall down and worship the idol!"
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| But the children of Israel would not bow down!
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| Couldn’t fool 'em with a golden idol!
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| I said you couldn’t fool 'em with a golden idol!
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| So the king put the children in the fiery furnace
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| Heaped on coals and red-hot brimstone
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| Eleven times hotter, hotter than it oughtta 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
|
| Talkin' to the children 'bout the power of the Gospel
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| Well they couldn’t burn a hair on the head of
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| Laughin' and talkin' while the fire jumpin' round
|
| Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
| Old Nebuchadnezzer called «hey there!
|
| When he saw the power of the Lord
|
| And they had a regal time in the house of Babylon
|
| Shadrack! |
| Meshach, Abednego!
|
| Oh, Abednego! |
