Lions LyricsParody of "Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band
(Daniel 6)
And Darius had lots of sneaky people giving him advice
And they didn't like Daniel and that was that
And they plotted to see him die
They said "King Darius, let's make a short-standin' law now
Here's what we'll do!
So if anyone prays within the next 30 days
To anyone other than you, we'll throw 'em to the
Lions! Lions! In the den of lions!
We're talking 'bout carnivorous great big wild lions
Vicious golden cats -- Don't you feed the lions!"
And Darius said "Anybody caught trespassin' this new law I have signed
Will be tossed in a pit with a stone on the top
In a den full of hungry lions!"
But the king just couldn't figure out
It was Daniel they were tryin' to get
But you know Daniel still prayed, even three times a day
Till they hauled him in under arrest
CHORUS
"Hey you, Daniel can't you read?
You disobeyed the law, now the lions are gonna feed!
You can't change the laws of Persians and Medes!
Even the king can't free you!"
Darius said "Sianora Daniel, hope you make it through the night"
Hey, hey, watcha gonna do? Hey, hey, watcha gonna do?
And Darius went back to his palace and he fasted
And tossed and he turned on his bed
When they hauled away the stone at the end of the night
He didn't have the stomach to check
So he went to the edge of the cavern
He said "Daniel! You down there with them lions?"
He said "Thank you king for thinkin' 'bout me I'm alive and doin' fine!"
