David And Goliath

David was a young blood. David was a stripling

But he looked like the jungle boy. That was talked about by Kipling

Well, he looked like a jungle boy and he sang like a bird

(But the fought like the devil when his temper got stirred)

When David was attending sheep for his pa

Somebody hollered, I think it was his ma

She said "Hurry to the field with this little-bitty sack

I want you to take it to your Brothers, but hurry right back"

Now David took his lunch box, and off he hurried

And there he saw the Israelites lookin' right worried

When he asked them what the problem was

They pointed to the prairie

There he saw a sight to make an elephant scary

Oh, there he saw Goliath, champion of Gath

He roared in his anger, howled in his wrath

Oh, he was stronger than a lion

He was taller than a tree

Little David had to tiptoe just to reach up to his knee

"Come on!" said the giant, raging and striding

"Bring out your strongmen from where y' got 'em hiding

Drag out your champions from under the bunks

I'll feed 'em to the buzzards, the lizards and the skunks"

Now David heard him bragging, and said, "I declare

That giant's got an awful lot of mouth up there"

So he strolled to the brook, and he picked up a pebble

It was smooth as ice, but hard as a devil

He starts out for the giant, dancing on his toes

He was whirling away with his slingshot

He was singing a song like so… goes:

"Rock of ages, cleft for me" - like so

The giant looks at David and lets out a laugh

He laughs like a tiger being sassed by a cat

He laughs like a hyena, grins from ear to ear

Ba-Ba-Ba-Bangin' on his armor with his ten-foot spear

He stars (starts) out for David, bangin' and a-clankin'

He said, "Come here, Junior! I'm gonna give you a spankin'!"

David took his slingshot, and swung it 'round his head

Out flew that pebble and the giant dropped

(He dropped dead) - dead!

(You know little David made a - good shot!)
