Mene, Mene, Tekel - Harold Rome, Barbra Streisand

The King of Babylon, Belshazzer

He was a mean old razzledazzer

He never paid no income taxes

The big shot of the Babylon-Jerusalem Axis

Mene, mene, tekel, tekel, tekel

Mene, mene, tekel

U-oo-pharsin

The King of Babylon, Belshazzer

The King of Babylon, Belshazzer

He was a mean old razzledazzer

Sittin' with his wives and concubines

A-shovin' in fried chicken and impor-orted wines

Mene, mene, tekel, tekel, tekel

Mene, mene, tekel

You-oo-pharsin

The King of Babylon, Belshazzer

He was a mean old razzledazzer

He never paid no income taxes

The Bigshot of the Babylon-Jerusalem Axis

Mene, mene, tekel, tekel, tekel

Mene, mene, tekel

You-oo-pharsin

(Bridge: the lyric about the finger appearing

I don’t remember.

But when the King saw it…)

The King grew cold Where he was sittin'

The finger wrote, and havin' written

It vanished slowly overhead

And this is what the writng of the Go-ood Lord said,

Mene, mene, tekel, tekel, tekel

Mene, mene, tekel

You-oo-pharsin

The King grew cold where he was sittin'

The Finger wrote and having written

It vanished slowly overhead

And this is what the writing of the Good Lord said

Mene, mene, tekel, tekel, tekel

Mene, mene, tekel

You-oo-pharsin
