The Lyrics
With the news of the imminent shutdown of submissions, I (Pippin) thought I had better pull my thumb out and get these into cyberspace while there was still time. I had been waiting for Merry to leave work and start doing parodies again, but this ship is sailing before hers. So, this is one of a number of submissions over the next few days that have been sitting in the vault - most for over 10 years.

Original song on YouTube
Daniel is captive, to Shinar he came
To Chaldees he’s sent, alright - gets a new name
Oh I fear Beltashazzar’s tongue-twisting; wry
Like Meshach for Mishael,
Shadrach (and that other guy)
In this foreign city did Dan gain esteem
Well Daniel’s given the best place - head of the team
Others, don’t you know, they’d heard quite enough
For they dissed Daniel
They got him quite in dutch...
Oh oh oh Nebucadnezzar you did order fine feed
But Jews appealed: more plain must be fare for their meal
For boys decide, the King’s request: denied
Said Daniel “There you are! Think that Neb’s a nice guy!”
Oh oh oh down in that oven it weren’t colder you see
Should dudes have squealed in pain? There’s no scars!
Skin don’t peel!
These guys not died! Instead, remained alive...
Oh Daniel it’s bizarre you weren’t phased and weren’t fried
Daniel’s unrav’lling Neb’s nightly re-dream
Tried to heed his fu-ture plight - heading for pain
He said “I can’t see kingdom Babbling-a-long”
Medes’ll cook King’s gander
Dust be the proud Nebb-ish guys
(So bad it looks for Daniel
Chucked in the lair with those lions...)
To Chaldees he’s sent, alright - gets a new name
Oh I fear Beltashazzar’s tongue-twisting; wry
Like Meshach for Mishael,
Shadrach (and that other guy)
In this foreign city did Dan gain esteem
Well Daniel’s given the best place - head of the team
Others, don’t you know, they’d heard quite enough
For they dissed Daniel
They got him quite in dutch...
Oh oh oh Nebucadnezzar you did order fine feed
But Jews appealed: more plain must be fare for their meal
For boys decide, the King’s request: denied
Said Daniel “There you are! Think that Neb’s a nice guy!”
Oh oh oh down in that oven it weren’t colder you see
Should dudes have squealed in pain? There’s no scars!
Skin don’t peel!
These guys not died! Instead, remained alive...
Oh Daniel it’s bizarre you weren’t phased and weren’t fried
Daniel’s unrav’lling Neb’s nightly re-dream
Tried to heed his fu-ture plight - heading for pain

Medes’ll cook King’s gander
Dust be the proud Nebb-ish guys
