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
