I Have to Do What I Have to Do Lyrics by Danny Gans

Bethlehem, but Herod continues to
plan a way to eliminate what he
believes to be a threat to his throne.

HEROD: I'm Herod, the King, and a
friend of Rome
I'll do what I must to protect
my throne
I have a destiny to fulfill
Though some try to stop me, no
one ever will
I'm Herod the Great, King of
the Jews
And I have to do what I have to do

This Child, this threat, this
would-be king
Will have no honor, no worshipping
I'll destroy anyone to protect
my life
I've killed three of my sons and my
second wife
There will be no Child when I
get through
For a man's got to do what a man's
got to do

I'm Herod the King and a friend
of Rome
I'll do what I must to protect
my throne
I have a destiny to fulfill
Though some try to stop me, no
one ever will
I'm Herod the Great, King of
the Jews
And I have to do what I have to do

Whether these Magi find Him
or not
I have devised a foolproof plot
There will be no way to escape
my hand
No one knows what I have planned
Ill kill every male child under two
For a man's got to do what a man's got to do

I'm Herod the King and a friend
of Rome
I'll do what I must to proect
my throne
I have a destiny to fulfill
Though some try to stop me,
no one ever will
I'm Herod the Great, King of
the Jews
And I have to do what I have to do
I have to do what I have to do

HEROD: "I'm the King of the Jews,
no one else."
