Wise Men From Lands Afar

1 Wise men from lands afar, oh yeah!

Wise men should’ve followed the star, oh yeah!

Called in at Herod’s palace,

Knew not of Herod’s malice,

Asked him if he knew of a baby king,

(Spoken) Which he didn’t and it made him mad!

CHORUS

Herod, full of jealousy,

Herod, couldn’t bear to be Herod

If he wasn’t the king,

(Spoken) The greatest king of all mankind.

2 Herod called for his sage, oh yeah!

Herod flew into a rage, oh yeah!

Vowed that there would be no other,

Sent forth servants to discover

Just where he could get at the baby king,

(Spoken) Which he couldn’t and it made him mad!

CHORUS

3 Wise men went on their way, oh yeah!

Wise men didn’t know what to say, oh yeah!

Herod, he did not impress them,

Trying to second-guess them,

Packed up and called it a day,

(Spoken) Which they did and it made him mad!
