Fifty dudes, you know they would shout surly
Wow, the old king's corps, they were hostile
The first captain, he told Elijah "Hurry,
You've messed up and the king wants you on trial"
Just in spite, Elijah says "God's shown me,
How to make it warm for this stooge, who's not nice."
And he makes it hot, now cinders they are only
Never thought he'd have to give that demo twice
Oh, he tells them he's a man of God unbending
And if he is, then fire should come down
And heat blows, they're all glowing, they're receiving,
Retribution for the Captain's words, they've found
Chorus:
They all died, those fryin' guys
From the fire, down from the skies
Hot, oh wow, you could surmise
To their dismay they're all just fryin' guys
'Nother fifty glide on down their joy is fading
But they're not wise, Elijah's wrath they feel
And soon the sky is bright no heat abating
With the man of God they couldn't make a deal
Four or five alarms, did not expect this weather
They're wishing they had stayed back 'bout a mile
With ashes strewn, guess the Captain's not too clever
But being bright just ain't the Captain's style
(chorus)
Not giving up, the king he is not yet done
No failure mars, so once again he tries
Third captain comes, but this one he's a smart one
You know he prayed, he doesn't want to die
No blunder now, this captain he's not crazy
Unlike the other two he's not a fool
He begs Elijah "please don't make it blazy,
So don't get hot, and please, sir, keep your cool."
By and by, then an Angel of the Lord brings
A word from God: "go tell the king for me
You called on Baal, that action now your death brings,
Ahaziah's the king that used to be
(chorus)
To their dismay they're all just fryin' guys
To their dismay they're all just fryin' guys
