The one good king Israelite
Has gone to war please don't go, Josiah
He passed away our hopes grow dim
Sons that were bad followed him
You wouldn't think (Hey hey hey)
They would stray a lot (Woo hoo hoo hoo)
Their backs were turned (Hey hey hey)
From pleasing God
Good king what have you done?
(Doo doobie doo)
My good king you had rotten sons
(Good king)
(Doo doo doobie doo)
The first king Jehoahaz
Lasted three months went bad real fast
Egypt came now who's in line?
Jehoiakim he seems unkind
That's when the guys from (Hey hey hey)
Babylon appeared (Woo hoo hoo hoo)
Took all our heroes (Hey hey hey)
Real far from here
Good king what have you done?
(Doo doobie doo)
My good king this ain't "My Three Sons"
(Good king)
(Doo doo doobie doo)
Good king
LEAD
Then one day they came back
It wasn't actually a sneak attack
Zedekiah (Hey hey hey)
He flew the coop (Woo hoo hoo hooooooo)
Caught escaping (Hey hey hey)
Blinded too
Good king my-y-y good king
(Doo doobie doo)
My my (Good king) my my good king
