Bob: You were lying in your bed
You were feeling kind of sleepy
But you couldn't close your eyes because the room was getting creepy.

Larry: Were those eyeballs in the closet?
Was that Godzilla in the hall?

Bob: There was something big and hairy casting shadows on the wall.
Now your heart is beating like a drum
Your skin is getting clammy.
There's a hundred tiny monsters jumping right into your jammies!

Bob: What are going to do?
Junior: I'm going to call the police!
Bob: No! You don't need to do anything!
Junior: What? Why?
Bob: Because ...

Bob: God is bigger than the boogie man
He's bigger than Godzilla, or the monsters on TV
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man
And He's watching out for you and me.

Junior: So, when I'm lying in my bed
And the furniture starts creeping
I'll just laugh and say, "Hey, cut that out!"
And get back to my sleeping
'Cause I know that God's the biggest
And He's watching all the while.
So, when I get scared I'll think of Him
And close my eyes and smile!

All: God is bigger than the boogie man
He's bigger than Godzilla, or the monsters on TV
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man
And He's watching out for you and me.

Monster #1: So, are you frightened?
Junior: No, not really.
Monster #2: Are you worried?
Junior: Not a bit.
I know what ever's gonna happen,
That God can handle it.

Frankencelery: I'm sorry that I scared you when you saw me on TV.

Junior: Well that's okay,
'Cuz now I know that God is taking care of me!

All: God is bigger than the boogie man
He's bigger than Godzilla, or the monsters on TV
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man
And He's watching out for you and me.

Junior: One more time!

All: God is bigger than the boogie man
He's bigger than Godzilla, or the monsters on TV
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man
And He's watching out for you and me.

Monster #1: Watchin' ...
Monster #2: Watchin' ...
Monster #3: Watchin' ...
Junior: Out for you and me! Yeah!

King Darius Suite

King Darius: I am King Darius
I've had a dream
And now I'm feeling rather frightened
And I wish someone would tell me what it means.

Wiseman #1: We are your wisemen
Yes, that is true
And though we're using all our wisdom
We're afraid we can't explain your dream to you.

King Darius: What!?

Wiseman #2: But there is one who is wiser still
And Daniel is his name
So before you take another sleeping pill
Perhaps he can explain.

Daniel: My name is Daniel
That much is true
But it is God who gives me wisdom
And through me He will explain your dreams to you.

Maid: His name is Daniel
That's what he said
But when he talks about this God of his
I think he's kind of loony in the head. (I do.)

Narrator: Well, Daniel was able to explain the king's dream. And this made the king very happy.

King Darius: Daniel, you have enlightened me
Your job I will expand
From now on I want you to sit right beside me
As the second in command!

Oh, No!

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 nostrils 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!

We've Got Some News

Wiseman #1: We've got some news, good King Darius
We fear your position is precarious
There are some people here in Babylon who won't give you your due
They'd rather bow to other men

King Darius: Can this be so?

Wiseman #2: 'Tis true!

King Darius: Oh, dear.

Wiseman #1: We've brought a solution of our own design
If you'll just sight this paper on the dotted line.
It's an edict stating most concisely what we're all to do
We must bow our heads or bend our knees before no one but you.

King Darius: I see. Just one more time, now, let's see if I've got this straight.
A law to prove once and for all that I am great.
If I'm the king no one must doubt my full supremacy
So, from this day forth my citizens will pray to only me.

Yes! But what if they don't?

Wiseman #1: If they don't obey, any citizen
Will be thrown into the lion's den.

King Darius: Oh! Yes. Well, I guess that would do it! Alright, then. Good work, men. Tah tah!

Narrator: So the law was passed, the deed was done
Daniel's troubles had just begun.



Words and Music by Phil Vischer

Fear Not, Daniel

Narrator: Oh, no! What am I gonna do?
It looks like I'm gonna end up as lion stew!

Narrator: Don't cry, Daniel!
Fear not, Daniel!
Don't you know you're not alone?
There is One who is watching you
He listens when you pray
And though it seems this time you won't get through,
God has made a way!



Words and Music by Phil Vischer

You Were in His Hand

King Darius: Surely your God is above all men
Now I understand
For even at the bottom of the lion's den
You were in His hand!
