Saw an ad in the newspaper
that caught my eye
I said to my baby this sounds
like the ticket for you and I
It said volunteers wanted for
a very special trip
To commune with Mother Nature
on a big wooden ship
We took a taxi to the river in case
any places were free
There was an old guy with a beard
And every kind of creature as far
as the eye could see
This old guy was the boss he said "I won't
tell you no lie
But there's more to this journey
than is apparent to the eye"
He said he'd heard God's
message on the radio
It was going to rain forever
and he'd told him to go
"I'll protect you all don't worry
I'll be father to you all
I'll save two of every animal,
no matter how small
But I'll need some assistants

I mean just how safe is this boat
we'll be on?"
It rained for forty days and forty
long nights
I'd never seen rain like it and
it looked like our old friend
Was being proved right
We had no time to worry though
there was just too much to do
Between the signified monkey
and the kangaroo
We had to wash all the animals we had to
feed them too
We were merely human slaves
in a big floating zoo
She said,
"Hey baby I don't mean to be flip
But it seems this old man
is on some power trip"
I said, "No,
no sugar you must be wrong
I mean look at the size of this

Woke up this morning
and something had changed
Like a room in my house
had just been rearranged
She said, "It's stopped raining and
I know the guy's kind
But if we stay here much longer
I'm gonna lose my mind."
So we said we had a mission
for his favorite dove
To see if there was any mercy

from this great God above
So to find dry land,
away the white bird flew
We didn't need no country
just a rock would do
When the dove came back
