The story of Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego! There was three children from the land of Israel Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! They took a little trip to the land of Babylon Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! He took a lot of gold, and made an idol Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! And he told everybody 'when you hear the music of the trombone,? And he told everybody 'when you hear the music of the clarinet,? And he told everybody 'when you hear the music of the horn, You must fall down and worship the idol!? Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! But the children of Israel would not bow down! Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! Couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol! Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! I said you couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol! Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! So the king put the children in the fiery furnace Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! Heaped on coals and red-hot brimstone Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! Eleven times hotter, hotter than it oughtta be! Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! Burned up the soldiers that the king had put there Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! But the Lord sent an angel with the snow-white wings Down in the middle of the furnace Talkin' to the children 'bout the power of the Gospel Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! Well they couldn't burn a hair on the head of Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! Laughin' and talkin' while the fire jumpin' round Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego! Old Nebudchanezzer called 'hey there!? When he saw the power of the Lord And they had a regal time in the house of Babylon Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego! Oh, Abednego!! --- Shadrack - John Raitt
