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 away      So 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   [x 4]
