The Statler Brothers - Song of Solomon lyrics

Solomon was the son of the Gentile adulteress Bathsheba and David, Israel's greatest king As king, he built the temple that God would not let his father build And in his reign he asked God for two things, wisdom and knowledge This is the song of Solomon The Lord appeared to Solomon And asked him in his dream Just what would you want If I would grant you anything King Solomon said to the Lord On riches I won't dwell Just grant to me the wisdom Lord To lead Your people well When he woke the Lord had blessed The throne on which he sat And nobody ever caught him Sleepin' after that People heard about him And came from far and wide He'd lay his words of wisdom on And open up their eyes And didn't Solomon have it all together? Didn't Solomon lead his people well? Didn't Solomon have all together? Don't his words ring clearly as a bell? Two women came to Solomon Both had given birth I'm troubled though dear kindly king Please help me said the first One night while I lay sleeping This womans baby died She laid it's body on my bosom Trading it for mine The other woman said to him That it was not true And Solomon said bring the child I'll tell you what we'll do We'll divide him with a sword And half to each disperse The real mother cried, oh, no Just give the child to her And didn't Solomon have it all together? Didn't Solomon lead his people well? Didn't Solomon have all together? Don't his words ring clearly as a bell? Didn't Solomon have it all together?
