lyrics

9. Noah and the Ark ©2016
A long time ago (echo) Noah built a boat (echo)
The biggest boat (echo) That you ever did see (echo)
Well Noah built a big, big boat, And the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.

And to that boat, (echo) The elephants came (echo)
Yes the elephants stomped (echo) To beat the rain (echo)
So the elephants stomped and stomped, and Noah built a big, big boat
And the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.

And to that boat (echo) The jaguars came (echo)
Yes the jaguars jumped(echo) To beat the rain (echo)
Well the jaguars they jumped and jumped, the elephants they stomped and stomped
And Noah built a big, big boat, and the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.

And to that boat, the giraffes came, the giraffes they munched, to beat the rain….
Well the giraffes they munched and munched, the jaguars they jumped and jumped, the elephants they stomped and stomped, and Noah built a big, big boat, and the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.

And to that boat, the cats came, well the cats meowed, to beat the rain….
Well the cats they meowed-meowed, and the giraffes they munched and munched, the jaguars they jumped and jumped, the elephants they stomped and stomped, and Noah built a big, big boat, and the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.

And to that boat, the monkeys came, yes the monkeys swung, to beat the rain….
Well the monkeys swung and swung, the cats they meowed-meowed, and the giraffes they munched and munched, the jaguars they jumped and jumped, the elephants they stomped and stomped, and Noah built a big, big boat, and the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.

And to that boat, the red foxes came, yes the red foxes yipped, to beat the rain….
Well the red foxes yipped and yipped, the monkeys swung and swung, the cats they meowed-meowed, and the giraffes they munched and munched, the jaguars they jumped and jumped, the elephants they stomped and stomped, and Noah built a big, big boat, and the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.

And to that boat, the tapers came, yes the tapers sniffed, to beat the rain….
Well the tapers sniffed and sniffed, the red foxes yipped and yipped, the monkeys swung and swung, the cats they meowed-meowed, and the giraffes they munched and munched, the jaguars they jumped and jumped, the elephants they stomped and stomped, and Noah built a big, big boat, and the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.

And to that boat, the wolves came, well the wolves howled, to beat the rain….
Well the wolves howled and howled, the tapers sniffed and sniffed, the red foxes yipped and yipped, the monkeys swung and swung, the cats they meowed-meowed, the giraffes they munched and munched, the jaguars they jumped and jumped, the elephants they stomped and stomped, and Noah built a big, big boat, and the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.
And to that boat, the lions came, well the lions roared, to beat the rain….
Well the lions roared and roared, the wolves howled and howled, the tapers sniffed and sniffed, the red foxes yipped and yipped, the monkeys swung and swung, the cats they meowed-meowed, the giraffes they munched and munched, the jaguars they jumped and jumped, the elephants they stomped and stomped, and Noah built a big, big boat, and the rain it fell all around, all around, and the rain it fell all around.

And the rain it fell, for forty days, then the sun came out, and the clouds went away.
And a rainbow shone all around all around, a rainbow shone all around all around,
Yes a rainbow shone all around.
