The children of Israel gazing up at Jericho's walls They just couldn't see, how this city ever could fall But the Lord said Don't you know For seven days you must go A-walking round Jericho But don't make a sound Keep on going round It's mad, it's mad Creeping round the walls, I think that you've been had! It's mad, it's mad It won't do any good it's really rather sad, it's mad The people of Jericho laughed, till they could laugh no more They said, whatch ya doing why don't you knock on the door! You've been walking six days in the heat You're gonna wear out your feet You'd better admit defeat Jericho rules You're all crazy fools! It's mad, it's mad... Sometimes you know God's wisdom can seem pretty strange But all that he promises you can be sure he'll arrange The children of Israel knew What God promised, He would do And when the trumpets blew The walls fell down Razed to the ground It's mad, it's mad That we don't understand, all that God has planned It's mad, it's mad If walls are gonna fall, we've got to heed his call It's mad
