Parody Lyrics by Randall Hyde


One day so decreed Nebuchadnezzar
"I will build an image that is great
And if you refuse to bow down to it
A blazing fiery furnace is your fate."

Chorus:
You'd best bow down my friend
Or you we'll apprehend
It's blazing hot and you won't get away
So choose not to offend
Here's what we recommend,
You'd best bow down, so please don't disobey

Shadrach, Meshach and poor Abednego
Knew the Lord was just the one to trust
So they just said "no" to Nebuchadnezzar
Their actions made the king so furious

[chorus]

So the furnace was made a lot hotter
Then the guys were bound and tossed inside
Roast these dudes the furnace it oughta'
It's so hot the soldiers even fried

[chorus 2x]

Guess it just surprised those who were gazing
Yes it proved the boys were really blessed
Even the king found this quite amazing
He decided that God was the best

They won't bow down to him,
'cause God says that's a sin
The furnace heat, it's just temporary
God kept the boys alive
Though no one should survive
Nebuchadnezzar gladly set them free
(repeat)
