Oh, No! What We Gonna Do? Lyrics

Wisemen: Oh, no! What we gonna do?
The king likes Daniel more than me and you.
Oh, no! What we gonna do?
We've gotta get him outta here.
Oh, no! What we gonna do?
The king likes Daniel more than me and you.
Oh, no! What we gonna do?
We've gotta get him outta here.

Wisemen #2 and #3: We could throw him in the dungeon
We could let him rot in jail.
We could drag him to the ocean
Have him eaten by a whale.

Wiseman #1: We could throw him in the Tigris
Let him float awhile,
Then we'll all sit back and watch him meet
A hungry crocodile
We could put him on a camel's back
And send him off to Ur
With a cowboy hat without a brim
A boot without a spur.

We could give him jelly doughnuts,
Take them all away
Or we could fill his ears with cheese balls
And his nostils with sorbet
We could use him as a footstool
Or a table to play Scrabble on
Then tie him up and beat him up
And throw him out of Babylon!

Wiseman #3: Or! [whispering]

Wiseman #1: I like it!

Wiseman #2: It's sneaky!

Wiseman #1: And it just...

Wiseman #2: might...

Wiseman #3: work!

Wisemen: We could use him as a footstool
Or a table to play Scrabble on
Then tie him up and beat him up
And throw him out of Babylon!
