Lyrics

Well, when David fought Goliath there on the valley floor
This gave hope to the underdog forevermore
Or when David fought Goliath with a stone

David fought Goliath naked with a stone
Power to the spirit over the bone, yeah
Rat-a-tat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-a-tat

King Saul said you can't fight him
He's a giant don't you see
Well I've already fought the lion
This Goliath don't scare me
Whoa when David fought Goliath with a stone

Whoa David fought Goliath on the valley floor
Power to the small, forevermore, yeah, yeah
Rat-a-tat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-a-tat
Rat-a-tat-a-tat, tat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tat

So they dressed him in armor
Like a normal cananite
Wait, please take these strange clothes off me
This is not the way that I fight

Oh, David fought Goliath with a stone

So what did he do?
He kept the soldiers waiting
As he wandered off alone
Oh, he waded in the water
And he came back with five smooth stones
When David fought Goliath with a stone

Oh, David fought Goliath naked with a stone
Power to the spirit over the bone
Yeah, rat-a-tat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-a-tat
Rat-a-tat-a-tat, rat a tat a tat a

David, I'm all right
David, all right
David, that's right
David, all right

Well, Goliath laughed at David
Have they sent a boy with sling?
Come closer to me youngster
Let the vultures laugh and sing
But David fought Goliath with a stone

Oh, David fought Goliath naked with a stone
Power to the spirit, over the bone

Wait out long, we gotta do the Philistine solo

As King, became a monstrous man, a murderer, a bore
But left us with that teenage moment on the valley floor
When David fought Goliath with a stone (Everybody, help me)
Oh, David fought Goliath naked with a stone
Power to the spirit over the bone

Lyrics

when David fought Goliath there on the valley floor
This gave hope to the underdog forevermore
David fought Goliath with a stone

David fought Goliath naked with a stone
Power of the spirit over the bone, yeah

King Saul said you can't fight him
He's a giant don't you see
I've already fought the lion
This Goliath just don't scare me
David fought Goliath with a stone

David fought Goliath naked with a stone
Power of the spirit over bone
yeah

Goliath laughed at David
Have they sent a boy with a sling?
Come closer to me youngster
Let the vultures laugh and sing
But David fought Goliath with a stone

David fought Goliath naked with a stone
Power of the spirit over bone

[That's the end of the song, we're just fooling around]

David fought Goliath naked with a stone
Power of the spirit over the bone

Lyrics

When David fought Goliath there on the valley floor
He gave hope to the underdog forevermore
When David fought Goliath with a stone

David fought Goliath naked with a stone
power to the spirit over the bone

King Saul said you can't fight him, he's a giant, don't you see?
I've already fought the lion, this Goliath just don't scare me
David fought Goliath with a stone

David fought Goliath on the valley floor, on the valley floor
Power to the small, power to the small
Forevermore, forevermore,

So they girded him in armor like a normal canan-ite
Please take these strange clothes off me
This is not the way I fight
When David fought the Goliath with a stone

David fought the Goliath
On the valley floor (on the valley floor)
Power to the small (power to the small)
Forevermore (forevermore)

That's the way you do it

So he kept the soldiers waiting as he wandered off alone
He waded in the water and came back with five smooth stones
When David fought the Goliath with a stone

David fought Goliath
naked with a stone, naked with a stone
power to the spirit, power to the spirit,
over the bone, over the bone

Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat
Rat-a-tat-tat, tat-tat-tat-tat, over the bone

Goliath laughed at David
What, have they sent a boy with sling?
Come closer to me, youngster
Let the vultures laugh and sing
but David fought Goliath with a stone

David fought Goliath on the valley floor, on the valley floor
Power to the small,
Forevermore,

Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat
Rat-a-tat-tat, tat-tat-tat-tat,

As King became a monstrous man, a murderer of war
But left us with that teenage moment
There on the valley floor
When David fought Goliath with a stone

Oh my God, what a story! Everybody have a go at it!

David fought Goliath
Naked with a stone
Naked with a stone
Power to the spirit
Power to the spirit
over the bone

David fought the Goliath
On the valley floor (on the valley floor)
Power to the small (power to the small)
Forevermore (forevermore)

Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat
Rat-a-tat-tat, tat-tat-tat-tat,

David fought Goliath
Naked with a stone
Naked with a stone
Power to the spirit
over the bone
