Shadrack

Oh, they were three children from the land of Israel

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Oh, they took a little trip to the land of Babylon

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

And ol’ Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

So they took a lot of gold, and made ‘em an idol

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

And they told everybody “when you hear the music of the

clarinet,”

They told everybody “when you hear the music of the

flute,”

“Now listen, children, when you hear the music of the

horn,”

“Oh, you gotta bow down and worship the idol!”

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Ah, but the children of Israel would not bow down!

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

“We aint’ going to bow to no golden idol!”

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

No, you couldn’t fool the children with the golden

idol!

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

So the king cast the children in the fiery furnace

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

The heat on cold and red-hot brimstone, the Good Book

say

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Even made it seven times hotter than it oughtta be!

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Now they burned up the soldiers that the king had put

there

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!

Um hmm, then the Good Lord called an angel,

Gave him a couple of wings.

He said “go down there through the middle of the

furnace

and begin to cool in the flames.”

And those children got so happy,

they went struttin’ right through the fire.

Just a’ laughin’ and a’ talkin’ ‘bout the GOODNESS OF

THE LORD.

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!!!
