| Who built the Ark? |
| Noah, Noah |
| Who built the ark? |
| Brother Noah built the ark.
(rpt. for chorus after each verse) |
| |
| Now in went the anuimals
one by one |
| The rhino chewing on a caraway
bun |
| (Chorus....) |
| |
| Now in went the animals,
two by two |
| The elephant and the kangaroo |
| |
| In went the animals, three
by three, |
| Two butterflies and a bumble
bee |
| |
| In went the animals, four
by four, |
| The big hippopotamus stuck
in the door |
| |
| In went the animals five
by five |
| Thus the animals did arrive
|
| |
| In went the animals, six
by six, |
| The hyaena laughing at the
monkey's tricks. |
| |
| In went the animals, seven
by seven, |
| The little pig thought they
were going to heaven. |
| |
| In went the animals, eight
by eight |
| Some were early and some
were late |
| |
| In went the animals nine
by nine |
| Noah shouted "cut that line."
|
| |
| In went the animals ten
by ten, |
| The old Ark blew its whistle
then |
| And nobody knew where they
were at |
| 'Till the ark done bump
on Ararat, |
| Hallelu! Hallelu!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! |
