                         There once lived a good man named Dan
                           The best man that lived in the land
                          So honest and just that King Darious
                            Made Daniel his next in command

                          But there were some very mean men
                          Who did not like Dan the king's friend
                    So jealous were they that they planned out a way
                              To throw Dan in the lion's den

                          The lions are hungry tonight they sang
                               The lions are hungry tonight
                                They've not eaten dinner
                                We think that they might
                          The lions are hungry tonight they sang
                               The lions are hungry tonight

                             The king was as sad as could be
                            But could not reverse the decree
                   He prayed the night through and skipped dinner too
                            Then ran the next morning to see

                          The lions are hungry tonight they sang
                               The lions are hungry tonight
                                They've not eaten dinner
                                We think that they might
                          The lions are hungry tonight they sang
                               The lions are hungry tonight

                           The king cried Oh Daniel my friend
                            I'm wondering how have you been
                                 And how is the weather
                                 Are you still together?
                            Did God keep you safe in the den?

                           And then the most wonderful thing
                           That's ever been heard by the king
                     Down deep in the den stood ol' Dan with a grin
                             And this is the song he did sing

                       The lion's weren't hungry last night, oh king
                           The lion's weren't hungry last night
                      My gaurdian angel has shut their mouths tight
                       The lion's weren't hungry last night, oh king
                           The lion's weren't hungry last night

                             The story has something to tell
                              A lesson to learn from Daniel
                     When others mistreat you like lions that eat you
                             It doesn't help much if you yell

                           And so when your back's to the wall
                           Be good and love God through it all
                       And then in the end you can sing with a grin
                         Cause God's always near when you call

                      The lions weren't hungry last night you'll sing
                           The lions weren't hungry last night
                      My gaurdian angel has shut their mouths tight.
                      The lions weren't hungry last night you'll sing
                           The lions weren't hungry last night

                   Like kittens they purr through the night you'll sing
                         Like kittens they purr through the night
                      My gaurdian angel has shut their mouths tight
                      The lions weren't hungry last night you'll sing
                           The lions weren't hungry last night
