Lyr Req: Daniel in the lions den

From: Fifer

Can anyone help with the words to a poem or song about Daniel in the lions den. The only sections of this narrative poem I can recall go as follows. "My daughter is with child" said the king to Daniel, "What steps are you going to take?" "F****** LARGE ones" said Daniel. "Oh shit!" the king said, and 50,000 people heaved and strained, for the kings word was law in that land.

None of them are much like the version I heard at school, though.

as funny as all these snippets are, along with all the others i've found, my father's version is the best! I regret he's been dead for 35 years, and I never wrote it down during all those Thanksgiving dinners, when he'd have one too many drinks, and, with much cajoling, enter into a recitation. An excerpt: 'And Daniel picked up a dried and stiff lion and smote the king lustily in the balls. 'Ouch!' cried the king, 'That tickles!' 'What tickles?' 'Testicles!' Whereupon the king laughed because he had two, the queen laughed because she wanted two, and all the little princesses took out their tits and tittered...
