Eli-jah! Eli-jah!
Don't start no fires, Eli-jah!Elijah looked toward Heaven-It got very bright
The fire fell sure enough takin' 50 guys' lives
I've got a feelin'- I'm about to die
Cause I know Elijah's tried that twice
So I'm sayin'Eli-jah! Eli-jah!
Don't start no fires, Eli-jah!
He's the one
Uh who brought, uh who brought the fire down
Drive those soldiers awaySo now I'm gonna meet him-and I wonder what I shall say
I've gotta follow all the king's commands- so here's my plan
I'm gonna shout and holler
"Elijah, save us from senseless slaughter!
"Please won't you go with us; I'm a peaceful man!"
So I'm singin'Eli-jah! Eli-jah!
Don't start no fires, Eli-jah!
(I'm) givin' up!
Cause you brought, uh-you brought the fire down
(I'm) givin' up!
Cause you brought, uh-you brought the fire down
Blew those soldiers away
