Wisemen: Oh no! What we gonna do? The king likes Daniel More than me and you Oh, no! What we gonna do? We gotta get him out of here (repeat) Wiseman#1: We could throw him in the dungeon We could let him rot in jail We could drag him to the ocean Have him eaten by a whale Wiseman#3: We could throw him in the Tigris Let him float a while Then we'll all sit back and watch him Meet a hungry crocodile We could put him on a camel's back And send him of to Ur With a cowboy hat without a brim A boot without a spur We could give him jelly doughnuts
Take them all away Or fill his ears with cheese balls And his nostrils with sorbet We could use him as a footstool Or a table to play Scrabble on Then tie him up and beat him up And throw him out of Babylon Wiseman#2 Or....(whispers) Wiseman#1: I like it! Wiseman#3: It's sneaky! Wiseman#1: And it just... Wiseman #3: Might... Wiseman#2: Work! Wisemen: We could use him as a footstool Or a table to play Scrabble on Then tie him up and beat him up And throw him out of Babylon!
