In a big town called L.A.
where no one walks nowhere
we walked to the County Museum
just me and my brother,
my friend and my mother
just doing a little sightseeing
we checked out some textiles
some sculptures of reptiles
then a strange picture caught my eye
a big room filled with lions
so peaceful and quiet
with a young man standing so calmly by
with a young man standing so calmly by
it was Daniel in the lionsâ den
it was Daniel in the lionsâ den
by American painter named Henry Oâ Tanner
it was Daniel in the loinsâ den
well, you now I love lions
but I donât love dyinâ
so Iâve never gotten too close
theyâve got powerful paws
and bone crushing jaws
and sharp claws on each of their toes
but Danielâs serene
and the lions just preen
and I suddenly see what it all means
if Iâm a good fellow
and peaceful and mellow
Iâll have lions protecting me
Iâll have lions protecting me
just like Daniel in the lionsâ den
Daniel in the lionsâ den
by American painter named Henry Oâ Tanner
it was Daniel in the lionsâ den
