In the days of my youth I was shown all the kings Judea had
And now I teach that age -- I try to review all those kings the best I can
So gather 'round I'll try to find my way through the names of them

Good guys, bad guys, old Judah had her share
20 rulers had the throne after Solomon
And I'll tell you all the people there

Rehoboam, he's the guy who started it off
With Abijah, and Asa makes three
Jehosophat, Jehoram, Ahaziah, Athaliah -- she's the wicked queen
Then Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz then
Good Hezekiah, wicked Manasseh and Amon
I'm not done with 'em yet... ahhh

Good guys, bad guys, then Josiah and his heirs
That's Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, Zedekiah, see, we're there!

Good guys, bad guys, you know what happened there
When a good one left the throne for the Promised Land
Then a villain seized the chair

I know one more King you need to know
I'm sure you guessed that on your own
Now, I don't care what the papers say
Christ's King of the Jews, and each and every place
You're gonna feel the need within your heart
You and I, sweet baby, need to get te Son of God
