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, watch 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
