Psst Did you see that? Oh, I saw it Are we going to tell him? We have a civic responsibility Hey King Look what they’re doing You made a decree and they’re ruining it Hey King This is rebellion Punish them properly or we'll throw a big fit Hey King We hate to be tattlers (We love it) But somebody has to keep order in place Hey King Look what they’re doing Punish them (Punish them) We waited for cymbals, the trumpet and drum The crowd hit the dirt when the music went, “BUM” We peeked through our sleeves just checking, you know Three Hebrew heads were still up in a row They wouldn’t bow down, they wouldn’t pretend So naturally, sire, we told on our “friends” Not jealous at all, not bitter one bit We just think your furnace should probably be lit Very hot, Your Majesty Extra hot Seven times hotter? Seven sounds official Hey King Look what they’re doing You made a decree and they’re ruining it Hey King This is rebellion Punish them properly or we'll throw a big fit Hey King We hate to be tattlers (We love it) But somebody has to keep order in place Hey King Look what they’re doing Punish them (Punish them) One… two… three… Wait Why are there four? New king, new court, same excellent skill We formed an official complaint-making guild We searched Daniel’s records from ceiling to floor No bribe, no mistake, not a crumb in a drawer So we drafted a law with a flattering spin “No prayers for a month unless prayers go to him!” Then Daniel went home, threw his windows up wide By chance we were under the window purely civic-minded Hey King Look what he’s doing Three times a day and he’s doing it still Hey King You signed the injunction Punish him properly honor the bill Hey King We hate to be tattlers (We love it) But somebody has to keep order in place Hey King Look what he's doing Punish him (Punish him) The furnace had four men (The lions wouldn’t bite) Our carefully laid plans (Were not going right) The kings praised the Lord (The whole court agreed) While we stood in the corner (Reconsidering greed) Maybe we should quit All the whispering schemes And find honest work With respectable teams? NO! Hey King Actually… never mind Nothing to report (Everything is fine) Everybody’s praying (And ignoring our designs) Everyone is standing By the word of God the King We’ll just quietly leave now But... Hey King Actually… never mind
